Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated cases, Andrew Wenmoth seeks to

appeal the district court’s orders dismissing his complaint in

part and denying his motion to alter or amend the district’s

order. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

(1949). The orders Wenmoth seeks to appeal are neither final

orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we deny Wenmoth’s motions for stays pending appeal

and dismiss the appeals 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
