Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

             Jeffrey Michael seeks to appeal the district court’s

order   dismissing       without     prejudice             some    claims      in    Michael’s

complaint     and     directing       the      Defendant           to    respond         to    the

remaining    claims      in    the   complaint.             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 Michael

seeks   to   appeal      is    neither    a        final    order       nor   an    appealable

interlocutory       or    collateral          order.          Accordingly,           we       deny

Michael’s    motion      for    appointment          of     counsel      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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                                     DISMISSED

                                               2
