                  Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Western District of Louisiana
                            USDC No. 2:23-CV-921
                  ______________________________

   Before Jones, Southwick, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Raymond H. Kimble, III, Louisiana prisoner # 503830, filed a pro se
   civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In the instant appeal, he
   challenges the denial of his motions for a temporary restraining order (TRO)

          _____________________
          *
            Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this
   opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited
   circumstances set forth in 5th Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
Case: 23-30568     Document: 00517015402           Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/28/2023

                                    No. 23-30568

   and the appointment of counsel.        We dismiss the appeal for lack of
   jurisdiction because Kimble’s appeal does not correspond to any appealable
   decision in the district court. The district court’s denial of a TRO is not an
   appealable decision. In re Lieb, 915 F.2d 180, 183 (5th Cir. 1990). Further,
   we lack jurisdiction to hear an appeal directly from the magistrate judge’s
   order denying the appointment of counsel. See Butler v. S. Porter, 999 F.3d
   287, 297 (5th Cir. 2021).
          The appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. In light of our
   lack of jurisdiction, Kimble’s motion for the appointment of counsel on
   appeal is DENIED. To the extent that Kimble’s brief includes a motion for
   a restraining order, it is also DENIED.
