Kevin Robert Williams, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Kevin Robert Williams seeks to appeal the district

court’s order summarily dismissing Williams’

42 U.S.C. § 1983

(2000) action as to all but one claim, which is still proceeding

below. 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

order Williams seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny

Williams’ motion to appoint counsel and 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
