PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order affirming her
conviction, but remanding the case to the magistrate judge to
determine whether a presentence report is required. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appeal-
able. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,1
and certain interlocutory and collateral orders.2 In criminal
cases, final judgment means that sentence has been entered.3 The
parties acknowledge in their briefs that this appeal has brought to
a halt the resentencing proceeding before the magistrate judge. The
order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable
interlocutory or collateral order.
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.
DISMISSED
