The MARION COUNTY COAL COMPANY, Petitioner, v. DIRECTOR, OFFICE OF WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAMS, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR; Jesse D. Taylor, Respondents.
The Marion County Coal Company seeks to appeal an order issued by the Benefits Review Board remanding this case to the administrative law judge for reconsideration of whether the claimant has established that he is totally disabled for purposes of his claim under the Black Lung Benefits Act, 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-944 (2012). 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order The Marion County Coal Company seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we grant the Respondent’s motion to 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
