Graham Harry Schiff, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 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
