                                2
PER CURIAM:

              John W. Fishback seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders granting the motion to dismiss his claims against one

Defendant, granting counsel’s motion to withdraw, and denying

his motion to appoint new counsel, stay discovery, and modify

scheduling order.          This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over    final    orders,      28    U.S.C.     § 1291   (2006),    and    certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006);

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337    U.S.   541,   545-46     (1949).       The   orders   Fishback    seeks   to

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or

collateral orders.         Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack

of jurisdiction.        We deny the motion for appointment of counsel.

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

                                          3
