                        for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:16-CV-32

Before DENNIS, ELROD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       David H. McCallister, Texas prisoner # 1666170, has moved to dismiss
without prejudice his interlocutory appeal from the magistrate judge’s denial
of his motion for appointment of counsel and a guardian ad litem in his civil

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

rights action.   Because the parties did not consent to proceed before the
magistrate judge pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 636(c)(1), we lack jurisdiction to
consider this appeal. See Donaldson v. Ducote, 373 F.3d 622, 624 (5th Cir.
2004); United States v. Renfro, 620 F.2d 497, 500 (5th Cir. 1980). Accordingly,
we GRANT the motion and DISMISS the appeal WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
