Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

            Harald Schmidt seeks to appeal the district court’s

order    consolidating       his    two    civil   actions.           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

Schmidt    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
