PER CURIAM:
Joyce E. Rowley seeks to appeal the district court order
consolidating her two cases and denying as moot several pending
motions. 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 Rowley seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny
Rowley’s motion for stay of proceedings 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
