No. 14-7221

LEON CHEATHAM,

Plaintiff – Appellant,

v.

WILLIAM MUSE, Chairman, Virginia Parole Board; HAROLD CLARK, Director, Virginia Department of Corrections,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. Claude M. Hilton, Senior District Judge. (1:13-cv-00320-CMH-TRJ)

Submitted: December 16, 2014 Decided: December 19, 2014

Before DUNCAN and DIAZ, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Leon Cheatham, Appellant Pro Se. James Milburn Isaacs, Jr., OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF VIRGINIA, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Leon Cheatham seeks to appeal the district court’s

order denying his motions for appointment of counsel and for

discovery. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders,

(2012), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Cheatham seeks to appeal is neither a

final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

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

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
