WILSON, JAMES, HOLLER & SMITH, L.L.C., Sumter, South Carolina, for
Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

          Gary L. Wise seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion for the appointment of counsel.   This court may

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

(2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.

§ 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).   The order Wise seeks to appeal is

neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order.   See Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962, 964 (4th Cir. 1987).

Accordingly, we 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
