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
