PER CURIAM:

Edmund Awah seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

denying his motion to remand his civil case back to state court 

after it was removed to federal court. This court may exercise 

jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), 

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. 

§ 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. 

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Awah seeks 

to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable 

interlocutory or collateral order. See Caterpillar Inc. v. 

Lewis, 519 U.S. 61, 74 (1996) (noting that an order denying a 

motion to remand, standing alone, is not final order). 

Accordingly, we dismiss the 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
