PER CURIAM:

      Jason Vann seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for

appointment of counsel. Barbara Mead has moved to dismiss the appeal. 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 (1949). The order Vann seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we grant Mead’s motion to dismiss 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

                                            3
