Before DIAZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Arnold Studivant, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Arnold Studivant seeks to appeal a district court order that he characterizes as a denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion. 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 (1949). The order Studivant seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order; rather, it merely granted Studivant additional time to provide information regarding equitable tolling of the limitations period for § 2255 claims. Accordingly, we 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
