PER CURIAM:
Elia T. Watkins seeks to appeal the district court’s order
warning him that his complaint is subject to dismissal without
prejudice.

We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because

the order Watkins seeks to appeal is neither final nor otherwise
appealable.

See Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.

541, 545-47 (1949); Catlin v. United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233-34
(1945).
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.

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
