PER CURIAM:
Yolanda Bell seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying her motion for a
temporary restraining order and her motions for reconsideration. 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 (1949). The orders Bell seeks to appeal are
neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly,
although we grant Bell’s motion to expedite, 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
