                                2
PER CURIAM:

               James   A.    Henson,       Jr.     seeks       to   appeal       the   district

court’s       potential     dismissal       of     his    action.           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).                              Henson has not

sought    to    appeal      any    order     but    instead         filed    a     conditional

notice of appeal in the event that the district court rules

unfavorably in his action.             Thus, there 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
