PER CURIAM:
Casual Bianca Lyons seeks to appeal the district
court’s order dismissing several claims raised in her motion
filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000). 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). The order Lyons 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 also deny Lyons’ motions
for preparation of a transcript at government expense and to
seal all filings in this appeal. 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
