PER CURIAM:
Lawrence Johnson seeks to appeal the district court’s
orders denying his motion to appoint counsel and laying venue.
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
orders Johnson seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor
appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we
dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Johnson’s
motion to appoint counsel. 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
