PER CURIAM:
Valarie Price seeks to appeal the district court’s order
directing Price to inform the court of the basis of its subject
matter jurisdiction over Price’s claim against the Secretary of the
Department of Veterans Affairs. 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 Price seeks to appeal is
neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral
order. Accordingly, 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. The
motion to place this case in abeyance and the motion to correct the
district court record are denied.
DISMISSED
