PER CURIAM:
Michael Antrantrino Lee seeks to appeal the district court’s order issued in his
pending civil action denying his motion to appoint counsel. 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, 545-47 (1949). The order Lee seeks to appeal is neither a final order
nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for
lack of jurisdiction. We deny Lee’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
