PER CURIAM:
Jose Nacacio Amu seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying his motion for reconsideration of the denial of his
motion to amend his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. This
court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial
Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Amu seeks to
appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Amu’s motion to proceed in
forma pauperis, and we 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 the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
