Clayton E. Young, Appellant Pro Se. Rex Schultz Gordon, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Clayton E. Young seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying reconsideration of the denial of his motion for

appointment of counsel and denying his motion for discovery. This

court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2000), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

(1949). The orders Young seeks to

appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or

collateral orders. 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

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
