OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina,
for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Reaon O’Neil Moultry appeals the district court’s order deny-

ing his motion to amend his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 1999)

motion. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the

order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocu-

tory and collateral orders, 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 deny a certificate of appealability and 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
