- 2 - PER CURIAM:
Rebekah A. Phelps-Davis and Shirley L. Phelps-Roper seek
to appeal the district court’s order denying their motion to
dismiss or for summary judgment in Appellee’s civil suit. 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 Phelps-Davis and
Phelps-Roper seek to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We further deny the
Appellants’ renewed motion for stay, motion for emergency hearing,
and motion for the district court to provide original audio tapes.
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
