L.L.C., Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Vickie L. McIver Roberts seeks to appeal the district

court’s order affirming the magistrate judge’s order denying her

motion   for   appointment   of   counsel.    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., 

 (1949).       The order Roberts 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

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                   DISMISSED
