Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Curtis Jerome Brown, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Curtis Jerome Brown, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his self-styled “Motion for Release and Motion in Opposition to Respondent[’]s Motion to Dismiss” filed in his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2255 proceeding. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-47 (1949). The order Brown 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
