Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Stephen Parker Gardner appeals the district court's denial of his pre-trial mo tion for release of seized assets. Because we lack jurisdiction, we dismiss.
Our jurisdiction is generally limited to "final decisions of the district courts." 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Appellant is, in essence, seeking mandamus to compel the district court to hold a hearing to which he is not entitled. See United States v. Consiglio, 866 F.2d 310, 311 (9th Cir.1989).
DISMISSED.
