Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Edith C. Peterson, Appellant Pro Se. Bradley Philip Kline,
CRANFILL, SUMNER & HARTZOG, LLP, Charlotte, North Carolina, for
Appellees.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Edith C. Peterson seeks to appeal the district court’s
order affirming the magistrate judge’s order that Peterson, a
non-attorney, retain counsel to represent ECP Trust. This court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,
28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.
Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order
Peterson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
deny as moot Peterson’s motion requesting that this court deny
her counsel’s motion to withdraw, deny Peterson’s motion for
time to locate new counsel, 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 the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
DISMISSED
