PER CURIAM:
Jeffrey Edelen seeks to appeal the district court’s order resolving several motions
related to the appointment of counsel in his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and motion
for compassionate release under 18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A). 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 Edelen 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 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
