PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from an order denying his request to be

transferred to another institution. We dismiss the appeal for lack

of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may

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

(1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus-
trial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is

neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order.

     We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We further deny his
motion for appointment of counsel, motion to vacate district court

orders, "Motion for Misjoinder of Parties Under Rule 21-FRCP-In Pro

Se," "Motion to Amend to Conform with Evidence," and "Motion for
Renewal of Motions for Default Arguments and Authorities." We dis-

pense 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
