APPEAL DISMISSED.

Before LUTTIG and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM:


Appellants appeal the district court order denying their motions for entry of default, to lift stay, and for partial summary judgment; dismissing their claims for damages under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1985(3) and 1986 (1988); granting Toyota Motor Credit Company's motion to dismiss; partly granting Dennis Cox's motion to dismiss; and staying other aspects of the case pending discovery. 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 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable 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
