Before WILKINSON, MICHAEL, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ernest A. Larch, Paul Newman Allen, Benny Barfield, Alvin R. Wilson, James Hughes, Rufus L. Belding, James Robert Bennington, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Wortham, Appellants Pro Se.

- 4 - Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

- 5 - PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Ernest A. Larch, Paul

Newman Allen, Benny Barfield, Alvin R. Wilson, James Hughes, Rufus

L. Belding, James Robert Bennington, John F. Kennedy, and Jimmy

Wortham appeal a district court order denying their motions to join

as plaintiffs in another lawsuit. We dismiss all the appeals for

lack of jurisdiction because the order is interlocutory and not

appealable. 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 (1949). The

order appealed here is neither final nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order.

We therefore dismiss the appeals 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
