Paul SCINTO, Sr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Edward Glenn PRESTON; Ralph Melton, Jr.; Frank Polumbo; Brian Lemay; Eric Wing; E & J Automotive, et al.; The City of New Bern, North Carolina, Defendants-Appellees, 231 F. App'x 250

PER CURIAM: Paul Scinto, Sr., seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying in part his motion for default judgment. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Scinto seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny Appellees’ motion to stay.

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.
