Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

       Sean F. Mescall and Gerald T. Mescall seek to appeal from the district court’s order

denying their motions for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees and motion to

appoint the United States Marshals to serve summons and complaint. This court may

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

collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan

Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order the Mescalls seek to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. 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 this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                               DISMISSED

                                             2
