MEMORANDUM**

2
Former California state prisoner Al Hakim Allah appeals pro se the district court's order granting partial summary judgment in favor of defendant prison officials in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.  Because Allah never obtained certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b), we dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.   See Sierra Club v. Department of Transp., 948 F.2d 568, 572 (9th Cir.1991);  Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).1

3
DISMISSED.

*
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4.  Accordingly, Allah's request for oral argument is denied

**
 This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3

1
 Our dismissal also precludes us from reviewing the district court's denial of Allah's motion for appointment of counsel under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).   See Wilborn v. Escalderon, 789 F.2d 1328, 1330-1331 (9th Cir.1986) (holding that denial of counsel in a section 1983 action is not an immediately appealable order but this court may review such a decision incident to the review of a final decision)
