Before AMBRO, STAPLETON and ALARCÓN, Circuit Judges.
United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
AMBRO, Circuit Judge.
Twenty-eight consolidated appeals have been filed by various plaintiffs in the diet drugs product liability multidistrict litigation challenging the District Court's interpretation of the filing fee statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1914, and seeking in the alternative a writ of mandamus. We dismiss the appeals for lack of appellate jurisdiction. We also deny relief by way of mandamus.
