PER CURIAM:
Jason
Scott
seeks
to
appeal
the
district
court’s
order
denying several preliminary motions and setting the schedule for
submissions in Scott’s 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition.
court
may
exercise
jurisdiction
only
over
final
This
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 Scott seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we
deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis; deny Scott’s motion for
injunctive relief pending appeal and his petition for a writ of
mandamus or, alternatively, for default judgment; 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
*
Scott asserts in his petition for a writ of mandamus that
the district court has unduly delayed ruling on his § 2254
petition.
Our review of the present record reveals no such
delay.
