UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 18-7485

JARON BRICE,

Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

J. RAY ORMOND, Warden,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Anthony John Trenga, District Judge. (1:18-cv-00960-AJT-TCB)

Submitted: March 14, 2019 Decided: March 19, 2019

Before WYNN and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Jaron Brice, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Jaron Brice seeks to appeal the district court’s order ordering him to notify the

court how he sought to proceed with his

(2012) petition. This court

may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2012), and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen

v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Brice seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Finding

no basis for appellate jurisdiction, we deny Brice’s motion for bail or release, deny leave

to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss the appeal. 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
