ORDER

_________________________________

Before LUCERO, GORSUCH, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.

_________________________________

This is an appeal from a non-final order issued by the magistrate judge denying the 

plaintiff’s motion to reconsider the denial of his request for appointment of counsel. We 

dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction.

The magistrate’s decision is not directly appealable to this court. Except for 

proceedings conducted by the magistrate judge on consent of the parties pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 636(c), a court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to hear an appeal taken directly from 

a decision of a magistrate judge. See Colorado Building & Construction Trade Council v.

B.B. Andersen Construction Co., 879 F.2d 809 (10th Cir. 1989). Moreover, the denial of 

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

1390 (10th Cir. 1981).

APPEAL DISMISSED.
