PER CURIAM:

     Marc Pierre Hall appeals the district court’s order denying

his motion to expedite proceedings on his 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 1999) motion and for appointmnet of counsel.   We dismiss the

appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appeal-

able. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory 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
