Marvin Brewer, Appellant Pro Se. William Mark Boyum, Assistant
United States Attorney, Asheville, North Carolina, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing six of

seven claims contained in his motion filed under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255

(West 1994 & Supp. 1997). We dismiss the appeal for lack of juris-

diction because the order is not appealable. This court may exer-

cise jurisdiction only over final orders, see 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, see 28

U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial

Indus. Loan Corp., 

 (1949). The order here appealed is

neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral

order.

     We therefore dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
