order denying his amended motion to withdraw the automatic reference to the

bankruptcy court. This court has an obligation to review whether we have

appellate jurisdiction. Breed v. Hughes Aircraft Co., 253 F.3d 1173, 1177 (9th Cir.

2001). We dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

      We lack jurisdiction over this appeal because “orders denying motions for

withdrawal of reference are . . . not final appealable orders.” Abney v. Kissel Co.

(In re Kissel Co.), 105 F.3d 1324, 1325 (9th Cir. 1997) (order).

      DISMISSED.
