Wilbur Leon Martin, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order denying his
motion for appointment of counsel and dismissal of all criminal
charges. 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 interlocu- tory 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.
We deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Appellant's motions for trial and for collection
of fees after his release are denied. We dispense with oral argu-
ment because the facts and legal contentions are adequately pre- sented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid
the decisional process.
DISMISSED
