Before COLLOTON, HANSEN, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

        Beck, a Minnesota prisoner, appeals the magistrate judge’s1 order requiring him
either to pay the full filing fee if he wishes to pursue all of his claims, or to pay an
initial partial filing fee if he wishes to pursue only his medical-needs claim. We

        1
        The Honorable Jeanne J. Graham, United States Magistrate Judge for the
District of Minnesota.
dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The magistrate judge’s order is nonfinal,
and it is not immediately appealable as a collateral order because it grants in forma
pauperis status in part and is not effectively unreviewable on appeal from final
judgment. See 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (appellate jurisdiction over appeals from final orders
of district courts); Kassuelke v. Alliant Techsys., Inc., 
223 F.3d 929
, 931 (8th Cir.
2000) (collateral-order exception).

      Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal. We also deny Beck’s motion for
appointment of counsel.
