UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT

_________________________________

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

 Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

AUSTIN RAY, 

 Defendant - Appellant.

No. 15-1455

(D.C. No. 1:14-CR-00147-MSK-2)

(D. Colo.)

ORDER

_________________________________

Before BRISCOE, BACHARACH, and MORITZ, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This matter is before the court sua sponte to consider whether this court has 

jurisdiction. See Wagoner v. Wagoner, 938 F.2d 1120, 1121 (10th Cir. 1991) (court 

of appeals has independent duty to examine its own jurisdiction). The defendant is 

appealing a minute order entered by the district court on October 26, 2015 denying 

his motion to dismiss. We conclude that this court lacks jurisdiction.

As the defendant has been told repeatedly by this court, he must wait until 

entry of final judgment before he may appeal. See, e.g., United States v. Ray, No. 

15-1357 (Oct. 20, 2015); United States v. Ray, No. 15-1347 (10th Cir. Oct. 5, 

2015).
