    W. Robert WARDELL, Jr., Petitioner-Appellant, v. Andrew MANSUKHANI, Warden, FCI Estill, Respondent-Appellee.
    No. 16-7672
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: February 23, 2017
    Decided: February 28, 2017
    W. Robert Wardell, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
    Before SHEDD and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

W. Robert Wardell, Jr., seeks to appeal two pretrial orders issued by the magistrate judge and the district court’s order affirming the magistrate judge’s rulings in Warden’s 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) action. On appeal, Wardell challenges the orders he seeks to appeal only insofar as they deny his request to consolidate his action with that of another litigant. 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 Wardell seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appeal-able interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny leave’ to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal 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.

DISMISSED
