Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Eusebio    Alfonso-Jorrin    seeks   to   appeal    the   district

court’s order placing his petition filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 2241 (2000), in abeyance pending the Supreme Court’s decision in

Beutez v. Wallis, 337 F.3d 1289 (11th Cir. 2003), cert. granted,

124 U.S. 1143 (2004).     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 Alfonso-Jorrin seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.              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
