Appeals from the United States District Court for the
District of New Jersey in case no. 10-CV-2230, Judge Joel
A. Pisano.
ON MOTION
ORDER .
Before R.AoER, Chief Ju,dge, NEWMAN and BRYsoN, Circmlt
Ju,d,'ges.
PER CURlAM.
The Defendants»Appe1lees move to dismiss George
Pieczenik’s appeals. Pieczenik opposes.
Pieczenik has appealed from orders denying his motion
“in limine to expunge plaintiffs copyright lecture proffered
by defendants counsel and to charge them with digital
copyright infringement," denying his motion for mediation,
and his motion for reconsideration. Proceedings before the
trial court remain ongoing With the exception of certain
interlocutory orders not at issue here, this court only has
jurisdiction to decide appeals only from a “f'1nal decision of
a district cou.rt.” 28 U.S.C. § 1295. The Supre1ne Court
has defined a Enal judgment as a decision by the district
court that "ends the litigation on the merits and leaves

nothing for the court to do but execute judgment.” C'atlin v.
United States, 324 U.S. 229, 233 (1945).
Because the
district court has not entered final judgment, the appeals
are dismissed as premature
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THATI
(1) These appeals are dismissed.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
(3) All other pending motions are moot.
