PER CURIAM:

              Zonta   Tavaras    Ellison       seeks    to    appeal       the    district

court’s    order      denying    his     pro    se     motion      for     judgment      of

acquittal.      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 Ellison seeks to appeal is neither a final

order   nor    an     appealable    interlocutory            or    collateral      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

                                          2
