PER CURIAM:
Elfina McIntosh seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her motion for
appointment of counsel in her employment discrimination action. 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 McIntosh seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962,
967 (4th Cir. 1987). 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
