PER CURIAM:

Thomas C. Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s order granting a defendant’s

motion to vacate the order of default against the defendant in Johnson’s civil action. This

court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders of the district court,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

,

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541, 545-46

(1949). The order that

Johnson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order. 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
