(7:11-cv-00257-JCT) Submitted: September 29, 2011 Decided: October 5, 2011 Before KING, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Ophelia De’Lonta, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 PER CURIAM: Ophelia Azriel De’Lonta seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying De’Lonta’s motion for appointment of counsel. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545- 46 (1949). The order De’Lonta 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 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 3
