- 2 - PER CURIAM:

In these consolidated appeals, Edward John Beach seeks to

appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion to dismiss

his trial counsel and adopting the magistrate judge’s

recommendation and denying his motion to suppress evidence at his

criminal trial. Although Beach was found guilty after a jury trial

of various drug crimes, he has not yet been sentenced. 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). The orders Beach seeks to appeal are neither final

orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We

dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal materials

are adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
