This matter is before the court upon consideration of the appellees' motion to dismiss the appeal.  The appellant has filed a brief but has failed to respond to the motion to dismiss.

A review of the record indicates that appellant appealed from the order denying his motion for appointment of counsel.  An order denying a motion for appointment of counsel is not immediately appealable absent a final disposition of the case in the district court.  Henry v.
