PER CURIAM:
Philip Jay Fetner seeks to appeal the district court’s order referring him to the United
States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia for a possible criminal contempt
prosecution. 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). Because the district
court has not found Fetner to be in contempt, nor has it imposed any other sanction, we
lack jurisdiction to review the district court’s order. See Adkins v. Christie, 227 F. App’x
804, 806 (11th Cir. 2007); Teaford v. Ford Motor Co., 338 F.3d 1179, 1181-82
(10th Cir. 2003); United States v. McCorkle, 321 F.3d 1292, 1298-99 (11th Cir. 2003).
Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. 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
