See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Curtis E. Crawford seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s
order denying various motions in Crawford’s pending action filed
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000). This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and
certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292
(2000); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Crawford 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 deny Crawford’s motion for appointment of counsel
and 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
