District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis III, Senior

Before WIDENER, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.
Dismissed by unpublished per curiam.
Anthony Scales, Appellant Pro Se. Mark Alex Grider, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Anthony Scales seeks to appeal from the district court’s
order denying his request for appointment of counsel at the
government’s expense. 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 Scales seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we deny Scales’ 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
