Dustin MITCHELL, Plaintiff-Appellant v. DENTON COUNTY; FNU Inman, Sergeant, Denton County; Tracy Murphree; FNU Cordell, Sergeant, Defendants-Appellees
Dustin Mitchell, Texas prisoner # 2221593, appeals the district court's order overruling his objections to the magistrate judge's rulings denying his motion for leave to file a third amended complaint, denying his motion to appoint counsel, and striking his third amended complaint from the record in his civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The interlocutory order at issue is not an appealable order. See Williams v. Catoe, 946 F.3d 278, 279-81 (5th Cir. 2020) (en banc); Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981 F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, we lack jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.
APPEAL DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION.
FOOTNOTES
PER CURIAM:* FN* Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
