See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

        Appellant appeals from a magistrate judge's order denying his

motion for appointment of counsel and assessing him costs and at-

torney's fees for a deposition he failed to attend. We dismiss the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appeal-

able. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1988); 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. We also deny Appel-
lant's motions for production of documents, for appointment of

counsel, to expedite the appeal,* and for fair trial and inter-
racial jury. 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

    *
      The decision in this appeal having been made, this motion is
moot and is denied for that reason.
