PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying

class certification, granting some Defendants' motions to dismiss,

and giving Appellant fifteen days to file an amended complaint. We

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is

not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. See Jung v. K. & D. Mining Co.,
356 U.S. 335, 337 (1958).

     We 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.

                                                        DISMISSED
