No. 16-7400

MCKINDLEY TRAVIS,

Petitioner – Appellant,

v.

PATRICIA WATSON,

Respondent – Appellee,

and

NELSON H. C. FISHER,

Respondent.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T.S. Ellis, III, Senior District Judge. (1:10-cv-01006-TSE-IDD)

Submitted: February 16, 2017 Decided: February 22, 2017

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, DUNCAN, Circuit Judge, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

McKindley Travis, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

McKindley Travis seeks to appeal the district court’s order

denying his motion for appointment of counsel. 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

Travis seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we

deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis 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 this court and argument would not aid

the decisional process.

DISMISSED
