PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order granting Appellee
Bell and the Laborers International Union of North America Local
No. 516's motion to dismiss. 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(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, because the order failed to dismiss all the Defen-
dants, nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We deny Appellant's
motion to appoint counsel and dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
