Before MOTZ, KEENAN, and HARRIS, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Melvin Richard Robinson, III, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Melvin Richard Robinson, III, seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his
motion for appointment of counsel and motion to expedite the district court proceedings
regarding the denial of his application for disability benefits. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Robinson 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 dispense with 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
