PER CURIAM:

Dickinson Norman Adionser seeks to appeal the district 

court’s orders advising Adionser that he must, within 30 days, 

choose between deleting his successive habeas claims from his 

Rule 60(b) motion or having his entire motion treated as a 

successive habeas motion. 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 orders Adionser seeks to 

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or 

collateral orders. 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
