PER CURIAM:

Kenneth D. Dippel seeks to appeal the district court’s partial grant of Appellee’s
motion for summary judgment and various other nondispositive orders. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);
Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders Dippel
seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.
Accordingly, we grant Appellee’s motion to dismiss and dismiss Dippel’s appeal for lack
of jurisdiction.
*
We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions
are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED

*
We also deny each of Dippel’s pending motions as moot.
