Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Stephen Thomas Yelverton seeks to appeal the district

court orders determining that he lacked standing, denying his

motion to amend, substituting the bankruptcy trustee as

plaintiff, and amending the case caption. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The orders

Yelverton seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor

appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal 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
