Submitted: November 17, 2011 Decided: November 23, 2011

Before KING, DAVIS, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Lawrence Johnson, Appellant Pro Se. David Lew, Sara Bugbee Winn, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Lawrence Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s

orders denying his motion to appoint counsel and laying venue.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders,

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The

orders Johnson seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor

appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Johnson’s

motion to appoint counsel. 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
