Frizzell Carrell Woodson, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. United States of America, Defendant-Appellee.
Frizzell Carrell Woodson appeals the district court's orders dismissing his complaints and ordering him to show cause why a prefiling injunction should not issue. With respect to the court's dismissal of Woodson's claims, we have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Woodson v. United States, No. 3:18-cv-00278-HEH (E.D. Va., June 5, 2018); Woodson v. United States, No. 3:18-cv-00279-HEH (E.D. Va., June 5, 2018); Woodson v. United States, No. 3:18-cv-00280-HEH (E.D. Va., June 5, 2018); Woodson v. United States, No. 3:18-cv-00282-HEH (E.D. Va., June 5, 2018); Woodson v. United States, No. 3:18-cv-00281-HEH (E.D. Va., June 5, 2018).
To the extent Woodson seeks to appeal the show cause portion of the district court's orders, 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). This portion of the orders constitutes neither a final nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
We deny Woodson's motions for default judgment, to show cause, and to deconsolidate. 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.
