Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia, at Roanoke.  Samuel G. Wilson, District Judge.  (CA-96-409-R)
John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.
W.D.Va.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals the district court orders dismissing his habeas corpus petition without prejudice for failure to set forth coherent claims and denying his motion for reconsideration.  We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the orders are not appealable.  This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988);  Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b);   Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  The orders here appealed are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

2
We deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.  The motion for hearing in banc is denied.

DISMISSED
