UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Washington, DC, for
Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

              Darwin Lewis Turner filed a notice of appeal from a

pleading filed by his counsel informing the district court that

Turner was not eligible for a sentence reduction pursuant to

Amendment       706   to    the     Sentencing           Guidelines     and    18    U.S.C.

§ 3582(c)(2) (2006).             This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over    final    orders     of     the    district        court,   28    U.S.C.      § 1291

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders of the

district court, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

Cohen   v.    Beneficial         Indus.   Loan      Corp.,     337 U.S.       541   (1949).

Because      counsel’s      pleading      is       not    an   appealable      order,      we

dismiss the appeal.              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
