Todd Franklin La Neve, Bachmann, Hess, Bachmann & Garden, for Appellees.

Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his motion for default judgment.  We also have before us Appellees' Motion to Dismiss Appellant's Petition for Appeal.  We agree with Appellees' contention that this appeal must be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction because the district court's order is not appealable.  This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988);  Fed.  R. Civ. P. 54(b);   Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.  Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).  The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.


2
Therefore, we grant Appellees' Motion to Dismiss Appellant's Petition for Appeal and dismiss this appeal 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
