Submitted:    May 28, 2009                   Decided:   June 5, 2009

Lawrence Verline Wilder, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

            Lawrence        Verline   Wilder,       Sr.,    filed   a   civil     action

against    the     University       of     Maryland,       Baltimore    County,      and

Freeman Hrabowski.          The district court entered an order denying

without prejudice Wilder’s motion for appointment of counsel and

placing his case on inactive status pending resolution of cases

Wilder    has    on   the    court’s       active    docket.        This    court    may

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

(2006),    and    certain     interlocutory         and    collateral      orders,    28

U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus.    Loan    Corp.,     337    U.S.    541   (1949).      Because      the   order

Wilder seeks to raise on appeal is not immediately appealable,

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    the    court    and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

                                                                             DISMISSED

                                            2
