PER CURIAM:
Jack P. Moore seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his motion for
appointment of counsel following the court’s prior order adopting the recommendation of
the magistrate judge and dismissing Moore’s complaint without prejudice and with leave
to file an amended 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 Moore seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Moore’s pending motions 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
