PER CURIAM:

Theodore Justice seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order denying leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 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., 387 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 98 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Justice seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) (2012); Fed.R.Civ.P. 72(a). 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.

We note that Justice filed objections to the magistrate judges determination that are pending in the district court.
