Elia T. Watkins, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Elia T. Watkins seeks to appeal the district court’s order

warning him that his complaint is subject to dismissal without

prejudice. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because

the order Watkins seeks to appeal is neither final nor otherwise

appealable. See Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541, 545-47

(1949); Catlin v. United States,

324 U.S. 229, 233-34

(1945).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
