PER CURIAM:

      Alutiiq Education & Training, LLC (“AET”) seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying its motion for summary judgment. 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 AET seeks to appeal is neither a final

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Arbaugh v. Y & H Corp.,

546 U.S. 500, 515-16 (2006); see also 43 U.S.C. § 1626(g) (2012). Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, and deny Herndon’s motion to appoint

counsel. 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

                                           3
