Johnny R. Huff, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Johnny R. Huff appeals the district court’s order dismissing
several of his claims under 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 1999)
without prejudice and ordering Huff to particularize two remaining
claims. 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., 337 U.S. 541
(1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Huff’s
motion for discovery, motion to compel, and motion for default
judgment are denied. We dispense with oral argument and deny
Huff’s motion for the appointment of counsel because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
