PER CURIAM:

Vance E. Bowles seeks to appeal the district court’s denial of his motion for

appointment of counsel to file a motion for sentence reduction under Amendment 821 of

the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

; Fed.

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

(1949). The

order Bowles 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
