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

                                            2
