No. 20-2262

Decided: February 22, 2021

Before NIEMEYER, KING, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Edwin A. Algarin-Moure, Appellant Pro Se. Theresa Allyn Queen, GREENBERG TRAURIG, LLP, McLean, Virginia; Craig Crandall Reilly, LAW OFFICE OF CRAIG C. REILLY, Alexandria, Virginia; Peter John Komorowski, III, COVINGTON & BURLING, LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellees.

Edwin A. Algarin-Moure seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order denying his motions for extension of time to respond to Defendants’ motions to dismiss his civil action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; 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). The order Algarin-Moure 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 Algarin-Moure's motions to appoint counsel and for a transcript at government expense and 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.
