PER CURIAM:

     Michael Hron seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion for a temporary restraining order* in his

employment action alleging violations of the Uniform Services

Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act under 38 U.S.C. §§ 4301-

4333. 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., 

 (1949).                  The order Hron

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




     *
       Hron filed a pleading captioned “Motion For Temporary
Restraining Order[,] Motion For Preliminary Injunction,” on
January 30, 2003. However, the district court ruled only on his
motion for a temporary restraining order. As we understand the
record, Hron has not pressed the district court for resolution of
his motion for a preliminary injunction.
