See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Frankie L. McCoy, Sr., appeals the district court’s order
denying his motion for appointment of counsel. We dismiss the ap-
peal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable.
This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28
U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral
orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here
appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory
or collateral order. See Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962, 967 (4th
Cir. 1987).
We therefore dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
