FIORANI v. CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION 25 CJD (2020)

Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court's order denying leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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, 545-47, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). An order denying “a motion to proceed in forma pauperis is an appealable[, interlocutory] order.” Roberts v. U.S. Dist. Court, 339 U.S. 844, 845, 70 S.Ct. 954, 94 L.Ed. 1326 (1950) (per curiam). We have reviewed the record and conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Fiorani's motion to proceed in forma pauperis. See Dillard v. Liberty Loan Corp., 626 F.2d 363, 364 (4th Cir. 1980) (stating standard of review). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal for the reasons stated by the district court. Fiorani v. Capital One Fin. Corp., No. 1:19-cv-02456-GLR (D. Md. filed Sept. 11, 2019, and entered Sept. 12, 2019). 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.
