Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing this
action for failure to plainly state his claims and denying his
motion for reconsideration. We dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction because the orders are not appealable. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders here appealed are
neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral
orders.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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 consolidate is denied.
DISMISSED
