Johnson v. North Carolina
Opinion
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Steven Glenn Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting North Carolina’s motion to set aside entry of default judgment and denying his ancillary motions and the court’s text order denying Johnson’s motion to alter or amend the judgment and his companion motion. See Fed.R.Civ.P; 59(e). This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Johnson seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appeal-able interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny Johnson’s pending motions to reconsider designation of the parties, to reset .the appellate timetable, and to abate the appeal; deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis; and 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.
