PER CURIAM:
Derrick Allen has noted an appeal in the civil action he filed in the district court.
This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and
certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);
Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). Because the district
court has not entered a final order or an appealable interlocutory or collateral order, this
appeal is interlocutory. Accordingly, we deny Allen’s motion to appoint counsel and
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 this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
