WOODSON v. BRENNAN (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Frizzell Carrell WOODSON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Megan J. BRENNAN, Postmaster General United States Postal Service, Agency, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 18-1894

Decided: November 19, 2018

Before MOTZ and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Frizzell Carrell Woodson, Appellant Pro Se.

Frizzell Carrell Woodson seeks to appeal the district court's order closing his case and consolidating the proceedings for Woodson to show cause why the court should not impose a prefiling injunction against him for filing numerous frivolous complaints. 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). The order Woodson 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 deny Woodson's motion for default judgment. 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.
