Ronald I. NANCE, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. John POTTER, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service, Defendant-Appellee, 42 F. App'x 589

PER CURIAM. Ronald I. Nance appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to reconsider a prior order granting the Government’s motion for an extension of time to respond to Nance’s civil complaint. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); 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 here appealed is neither a final order nor an appeal-able interlocutory or collateral order. We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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.
