PER CURIAM:

           John Marsh, M.D., seeks to appeal the district court’s

partial   denial    of    summary       judgment    in   this    42    U.S.C.   § 1983

(2006) action.       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
, 545-

46 (1949).      The order Marsh seeks to appeal is neither a final

order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.                           See

Johnson v. Jones, 
515 U.S. 304
, 319-20 (1995) (“[W]e hold that a

defendant, entitled to invoke a qualified immunity defense, may

not appeal a district court’s summary judgment order insofar as

that order determines whether or not the pretrial record sets

forth a ‘genuine’ issue of fact for trial.”).                         Accordingly, we

dismiss   the    appeal     for    lack    of    jurisdiction.          We    deny   the

Plaintiff’s motions for appointment of counsel and 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
