Harald Schmidt, Appellant Pro Se. Jeffrey Notz, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Prince William, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Harald Schmidt seeks to appeal the district court’s

order consolidating his two civil actions. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order

Schmidt seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. 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
