Lowell Mason Varney, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Lowell       Mason     Varney        seeks    to     appeal     the    district

court’s order denying his motions for appointment of counsel in

his pending 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) action.                              This court may

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

(2012),    and    certain     interlocutory          and       collateral       orders,    28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.    Loan    Corp.,     337 U.S. 541,     545-46       (1949).         The   order

Varney    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 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
