No. 16-1241
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: September 29, 2016
Decided: October 3, 2016
Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
Before SHEDD, KEENAN, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., seeks to appeal the magistrate judge's order denying his request for a hearing and for appointment of counsel in his civil action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Wilder seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny leave to pro ceed in forma pauperis and 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
