PER CURIAM:
Barbara Michelle Bush appeals the district court’s order
denying without prejudice her motion to voluntarily dismiss the
action. 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
interlocutory 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.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Bush’s motions for
appointment of counsel, for emergency relief, and for general
relief are denied. 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
