        PER CURIAM:

               Michael Antrantrino Lee seeks to appeal the district court’s order issued in his

        pending civil action denying his motion to appoint counsel. 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, 545-47 (1949). The order Lee seeks to appeal is neither a final order

        nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for

        lack of jurisdiction. We deny Lee’s motion to appoint counsel and 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
