Rebecca Beach Smith, Chief District Judge. (4:13-cv-00007-RBS-DEM) Submitted: June 20, 2013 Decided: June 25, 2013 Before GREGORY, DUNCAN, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. William Scott Davis, II, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: William Scott Davis seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying his motion for an order to file exhibits under seal, motions to appoint counsel, and motions for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order. 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 Davis 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 deny Davis’ motion for the appointment of counsel. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 2
