Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Paul Yongo seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his appeal of the magistrate judge’s order denying various

non-dispositive motions in Yongo’s civil action. 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 Yongo seeks to appeal

is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or

collateral order. Accordingly, we deny his motions for appointment

of counsel and for preparation of transcripts at government

expense, and 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
