UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 20-7090

MAURICE BAILEY,

Petitioner - Appellant,

v.

WARDEN,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke. Pamela Meade Sargent, Magistrate Judge. (7:20-cv-00284-GEC-PMS)

Submitted: November 17, 2020 Decided: November 20, 2020

Before MOTZ and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Maurice Bailey, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Maurice Bailey seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order directing Bailey to

notify the court how he sought to proceed with his

petition. This court

may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

, and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders,

; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Bailey seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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
