PER CURIAM:

Linda Ann Tyler appeals from the denial of her motion for

appointment of counsel. We grant Appellees’ motion to dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction, because the order is not appeal-

able. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders,

(1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order here

appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory

or collateral order.

Thus, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-

quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
