2 WILLIAM HARRIS v. US

issued any final decision pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(3). While Mr. Harris argues that this court possesses jurisdiction pursuant 9 U.S.C. § 16(a)(1)(A), he has not established the right to file an interlocutory appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. There is no evidence that a contract containing an arbitration clause is at issue here. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion to dismiss is granted. (2) All other motions are moot. (3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
