See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Mesfin Ketema seeks to appeal the district court’s orders
denying Ketema’s motions for sanctions, removal of the magistrate
judge and subpoenas. 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 orders Ketema seeks to appeal are neither final
orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.
Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss
the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We also deny all of Ketema’s
pending motions, including his motions for an injunction, to join
parties, to expedite, to join claims, and for en banc review. 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
