Department.

This

jurisdiction

Fire

only

over

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 54546 (1949).

The order Carter seeks to appeal is neither a final

interlocutory

collateral

order.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
dispense

legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the
court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
