Yuri J. Stoyanov seeks to appeal the district court's orders granting Defendants’ motion to consolidate Stoyanov's several employment discrimination lawsuits against Defendants and denying Stoyanov's subsequently filed motion to reconsider consolidation and for sanctions. 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). Because the underlying litigation remains ongoing, the orders Stoyanov seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
