USCA4 Appeal: 23-1217 Doc: 13 Filed: 05/15/2023 Pg: 2 of 2
PER CURIAM:
Graham Harry Schiff seeks to appeal the district court’s order requiring him to file
all communication with the court with the clerk’s office. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Schiff seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order; moreover, because it involves
filing procedures, it is not injunctive in nature. See, e.g., Nat’l Wildlife Fed’n v. Nat’l
Marine Fisheries Serv., 886 F.3d 803, 825 (9th Cir. 2018). Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Schiff’s motion for a stay pending appeal and to
expedite, and 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
