Richard Douglas Murray, Sr., Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Richard D. Murray, Sr., seeks to appeal the district
court’s order denying his objection to the standing order referring
his case to a magistrate judge for report and recommendation. 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 Murray seeks to
appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or
collateral order. Accordingly, we deny Murray’s motion for
appointment of counsel and 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
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
