Fiorani v. Lowry
Opinion of the Court
Rosario A. Fiorani, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion for default judgment against three of the four named defendants. 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). See Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 546, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Fiorani seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED
To the extent Fiorani seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing only Bradley Booke from the action, this order is also neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
