PER CURIAM:
Sam Anthony filed notices of appeal in each of two actions he
had pending in the district court. However, the district court had
not yet entered orders in either of the cases. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). Because no order had been
entered—much less a final order or an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order—we 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
