WILLIS v. HOWARD COIII UTMB TDCJ ID (2020)

Tommy Willis, Texas prisoner # 794591, appeals from the district court's orders entered in his civil rights action commenced pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 denying him relief on his motions to reinstate the case, to appoint counsel, for leave to amend his complaint, for an extension of the discovery period, to compel discovery, and for a temporary restraining order. The interlocutory orders at issue are not appealable orders. 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 DISMISS the appeal for want of jurisdiction. We DENY as moot Willis's motion to appoint counsel, motion for leave to file motion to correct errors, motion to expedite the appeal, and motion to vacate order staying case.
