Before HARRIS and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit

Antonio Marco Herrera, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

       Antonio Marco Herrera seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying without

prejudice his motion to appoint counsel in his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2254 action. This court

may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Herrera seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction and deny Herrera’s motion for appointment of counsel on

appeal and injunctive relief. 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

                                             2
