PER CURIAM:* Shawn Eric McGee, # 582006, appeals the denial of his motion to add Jim Bowles as a defendant and the grant of a protective order from discovery to Bruce Sherbert. The discovery order is not a final appealable judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. Periodical Publishers Service Bureau, Inc. v. Keys, 981 F.2d 215, 217 (5th Cir. 1993). McGee's motion to add Bowles as a defendant is a successive motion pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) and is not reviewable by this court. Latham v. Wells Fargo Bank, 987 Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 96-10060 -2- F.2d 1199, 1204 (5th Cir. 1993); Charles L.M. v. Northeast Indep. Sch. Dist., 884 F.2d 869, 870 (5th Cir. 1989). Accordingly, we DISMISS this case for lack of appellate jurisdiction. McGee's request for appointment of counsel is DENIED. We note that McGee has attempted to appeal two non- appealable interlocutory orders in this action. McGee is warned that his habit of filing non-appealable interlocutory appeals may result in the imposition of sanctions. MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED; SANCTION WARNING ISSUED.
