The court clarified that it has jurisdiction only over final orders and specific interlocutory and collateral orders as outlined in 28 U.S.C. 1291 and 28 U.S.C. 1292. The court referenced relevant case law, indicating that the order Abyla sought to appeal does not qualify as a final order or an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. As a result, the appeal was dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction. Additionally, the court denied Abyla’s motion for oral argument, stating that the existing materials sufficiently presented the facts and legal issues, making further argument unnecessary.
