PER CURIAM:

       Barbara Michelle Bush appeals the district court’s order

denying without prejudice her motion to voluntarily dismiss the

action. 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 order here appealed is neither a final order nor

an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

       We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory.        Bush’s motions for

appointment of counsel, for emergency relief, and for general

relief are denied. 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
