ORDER

Before BRISCOE, Chief Circuit Judge, and O’BRIEN and GORSUCH, Circuit

Judges.

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

appellant’s motion for appointment of counsel. We dismiss for lack of appellate

jurisdiction.

This order 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.
