                                2
PER CURIAM:

            Torrie Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying Johnson’s motions to appoint counsel, to extend

the time to file her amended complaint, to strike the answer, to

file a surreply to the answer, and to modify the scheduling

order.     The Appellees McLean and Morton have moved to dismiss

the   appeal.    This    court   may   exercise      jurisdiction     only   over

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen     v.    Beneficial    Indus.   Loan    Corp.,    337   U.S.   541,

545-46 (1949).        The order Johnson seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we grant Appelees’ motion and dismiss the appeal

for lack of jurisdiction.           We deny Johnson’s motion to appoint

counsel.    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
