order denying his amended motion to withdraw the automatic reference to the
bankruptcy court. This court has an obligation to review whether we have
appellate jurisdiction. Breed v. Hughes Aircraft Co., 253 F.3d 1173, 1177 (9th Cir.
2001). We dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because “orders denying motions for
withdrawal of reference are . . . not final appealable orders.” Abney v. Kissel Co.
(In re Kissel Co.), 105 F.3d 1324, 1325 (9th Cir. 1997) (order).
DISMISSED.
