GARRETT v. FOWLER (2019)

Robert Louis Garrett, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court's order affirming the magistrate judge's order and denying Garrett's motions to join other parties and to amend the complaint, to amend/correct the motion to join other parties and to amend the complaint, and for appointment of counsel; the magistrate judge's order denying Garrett's motions to compel and for sanctions, to stay, motions to supplement his motion to compel and for sanctions, and denying Defendants’ motion for extension of time; and the magistrate judge's order denying Garrett's motions for appointment of counsel. 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 orders Garrett seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals 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.
