                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of California
                  William Horsley Orrick, District Judge, Presiding

                              Submitted April 17, 2019**
                               San Francisco, California

Before: FERNANDEZ, BEA, and N.R. SMITH, Circuit Judges.

      In light of the district court’s briefing and hearing schedule for a future

motion to continue to seal the recording at issue, we presently lack jurisdiction

over Proponents’ appeal. The district court’s order compelling “the recordings be

kept under seal . . . until August 12, 2020” is not a “final decision[]” of the district

court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Nor is it a reviewable collateral order, for the order is

not “effectively unreviewable on appeal from a final judgment.” U.S. v. Hickey,

185 F.3d 1064, 1066 (9th Cir. 1999). Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed without

prejudice for lack of jurisdiction.

      DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

      **
             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).
