No. 01-20705 -3-
PER CURIAM:* Donald Hobbs, Texas prisoner no. 691219, seeks to appeal interlocutory orders consolidating and dismissing one of five consolidated cases. He also contends, for the second time in this court, that the district court erred in striking a motion he filed under FED. R. CIV. P. 60(b) in another of the consolidated cases. “Orders of transfer and consolidation are interlocutory and are not appealable.” Matter of Macon Uplands Venture, 624 F.2d 26, 27-28 (5th Cir. 1980). The dismissal of only one of the consolidated cases is likewise not appealable. See Ringwald v. Harris, 675 F.2d 768, 771 (5th Cir. 1982). As we have already determined, the order striking the Rule 60(b) motion is not appealable. Hobbs v. Harbin, No. 01-20722 (5th Cir. Jan. 2, 2002). Because we have no jurisdiction over these interlocutory rulings, Hobbs’s appeal is DISMISSED. Hobbs has now filed at least two appeals from nonappealable rulings. We caution Hobbs that similar filings in this court may invite the imposition of sanctions. Hobbs should review any pending matters of his to determine whether they contain frivolous claims. APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTIONS WARNING ISSUED
* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
