PER CURIAM:
Daniel Patrick Degoto seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing some,
but not all, of the Defendants named in Degoto’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. This court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Degoto seeks to appeal is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny Degoto’s motion to appoint counsel. 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.
DISMISSED
