PER CURIAM:

             Robert    Alan     Berkowitz          seeks    to   appeal     the    district

court’s order denying in part and granting in part the United

States’ motion to dismiss some, but not all, of the respondents

in   his    petition    to     quash      summonses         issued   by    the     Internal

Revenue Service upon third-party record-keepers.                          This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006),     and    certain     interlocutory          and    collateral         orders,    28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.     Loan    Corp.,     337 U.S. 541,   545-46     (1949).          The   order

Berkowitz     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      the    court    and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                                  DISMISSED

                                               3
