Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

      Barry J. Bluefeld seeks to appeal the district court’s order directing him to obtain

counsel or face dismissal of his pending derivative shareholder action. 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 Bluefeld seeks

to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Bluefeld’s motion

for 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

                                            2
