Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James Vang seeks to appeal the district court s order overruling Vang s objections to the magistrate judge s order denying his Motion in Abeyance and/or Stay of Habeas Corpus. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Vang seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Vang s motion for stay pending appeal and dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Vang s motion for appealability is denied as unnecessary. a certificate of 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.
