BYERS v. LANE (2018)

Eric Mario Byers petitions for permission to appeal under 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b) (2012) the district court's order denying without prejudice his motion to subpoena witnesses. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). Byers was instructed that the interlocutory order to be reviewed must be certified by the district court in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). Because the order has not been certified and Byers does not seek to withdraw his petition for permission to appeal, 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.
