Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Larry James Tyler seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order denying Tyler’s
motion to appoint counsel in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and
collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Tyler seeks to appeal is neither a final order
nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we 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 this court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
