See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Gary L. Wise seeks to appeal the district court’s order
denying his motion for the appointment of counsel. 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 Wise seeks to appeal is
neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral
order. See Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962, 964 (4th Cir. 1987).
Accordingly, we 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
