ORDER

_________________________________

Before HOLMES, BACHARACH, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This court lacks jurisdiction because no appealable order has been entered by the 

district court. 

This court has jurisdiction to review only final decisions, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and 

specific types of interlocutory orders not applicable here. A final decision is one that 

disposes of all issues on the merits and leaves nothing for the court to do but execute the 

judgment. Van Cauwenberghe v. Biard, 486 U.S. 517, 521 (1988). An order denying the 

appointment of counsel is not immediately appealable. See Cotner v. Mason, 657 F.2d 

1390, 1391-92 (10th Cir. 1981).

Because no final order or otherwise appealable order has been entered this appeal 

is DISMISSED.
