PER CURIAM:
Josephat Mua seeks to appeal the district court’s order
dismissing Mua’s case based on Mua’s failure to file an amended
complaint against the American Federation of State, County, and
Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and AFSCME Local 2250; dismissing,
without prejudice, Mua’s claims against the remaining
Defendants; and granting, in part, Mua’s motion for
reconsideration. 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 orders Mua seeks to appeal are neither final
orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders.
Moreover, Mua may challenge the district court’s orders in
Appeal No. 16-1509. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction. We deny as moot Mua’s motion for leave to file
an amended initial brief and his motion to consolidate this
appeal with Appeal No. 16-1509. 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
