PER CURIAM:
Graham Harry Schiff seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion
to stay adjudication of a pending 28 U.S.C. § 2254 petition, concluding his 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241 petition was duplicative, granting a motion to seal filed by Respondent, and ruling
on various nondispositive motions. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292;
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).
The order Schiff 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
