LORIE DAVIS, DIRECTOR, TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF CRIMINAL
JUSTICE, CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTIONS DIVISION,

                                                 Respondent-Appellee

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:18-CV-77

Before JONES, ELROD, and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Rocky Hill, Texas prisoner # 1596897, appeals an interlocutory order by
the district court in his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 case. The district court denied a
motion for appointment of counsel and directed Hill to file any claims
challenging the conditions of his confinement in a separate action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983. Hill’s motion for a certificate of appealability (COA) is
DENIED because a COA is unnecessary.                  See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A);

       * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

                                 No. 18-10967

Harbison v. Bell, 556 U.S. 180, 183 (2009). The appeal is DISMISSED because
we lack jurisdiction to review the non-final order.       See Grace v. Vannoy,
826 F.3d 813, 815-16 (5th Cir. 2016); Thomas v. Scott, 47 F.3d 713, 714-15 (5th
Cir. 1995); Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981 F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993).
