See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:
     Appellant appeals the district court's orders granting Defen-

dants' motion to dismiss in part, denying it in part, and denying

Appellant's motion for counsel. We dismiss the appeal for lack of

jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may

exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291

(1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.

§ 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.
Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders here appealed are

neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral

orders.
     We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.

                                                        DISMISSED
