Appeals from the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey in case no. 10-CV-2230, Judge Joel
A. Pisano.

## ON MOTION

## ORDER

\-

Before RADER, Chief Judge, NEWMAN and BRYSON, Circuit
Judges.

PER CURIAM.

The Defendants-Appellees move to dismiss George
Pieczenik's appeals. Pieczenik opposes.

Pieczenik has appealed from orders denying his motion
"in limine to expunge plaintiff's copyright lecture proffered
by defendants' counsel and to charge them with digital
copyright infringement," denying his motion for mediation,
and his motion for reconsideration. Proceedings before the
trial court remain ongoing. With the exception of certain
interlocutory orders not at issue here, this court only has
jurisdiction to decide appeals only from a "final decision of
a district court." 28 U.S.C. § 1295. The Supreme Court
has defined a final judgment as a decision by the district
court that "ends the litigation on the merits and leaves

<!-- PageHeader="PIECZENIK v. BAYER CORP" -->

nothing for the court to do but execute judgment." Catlin v.
United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945). Because the
district court has not entered final judgment, the appeals
are dismissed as premature.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) These appeals are dismissed.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.

(3) All other pending motions are moot.
