TIMOTHY  BELL,  

Plaintiff-­‐‑Appellant,  

v.  

EUGENE  MCADORY,  et  al.,

No.  12-­‐‑3138-­‐‑CSB-­‐‑DGB  
Colin  S.  Bruce,  Judge.  

Order  

After  Timothy  Bell  had  filed  a  notice  of  appeal  (No.  15-­‐‑1036),  the  district  
court  denied  a  motion  to  extend  the  time  for  appeal.  See  Fed.  R.  App.  P.  4(a)(5).  
Bell  has  filed  another  notice  of  appeal,  directed  to  that  order.  

The  only  appealable  order  in  this  case  is  the  district  court’s  final  decision.  
Procedural  matters  such  as  orders  under  Rule  4(a)(5)  are  not  separately  
appealable.  Instead  they  are  reviewable  in  the  initial  appeal.  The  current  appeal  
therefore  is  dismissed  for  want  of  jurisdiction.
