UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, v. BERNARD MARLIN GADSDEN, Defendant - Appellant.

Submitted: February 13, 2013 Decided: February 20, 2013

Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Bernard Marlin Gadsden, Appellant Pro Se. Alston Calhoun Badger, Jr., Assistant United States Attorney, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Bernard Marlin Gadsden seeks to appeal the district court’s orders directing the Government to respond to Gadsden’s motion for reduction of sentence and granting the Government an extension. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545- (1949). The orders Gadsden seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
