PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from an order denying his request to be
transferred to another institution. We dismiss the appeal for lack
of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291
(1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1292 (1988); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus-
trial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is
neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral
order.
We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We further deny his
motion for appointment of counsel, motion to vacate district court
orders, "Motion for Misjoinder of Parties Under Rule 21-FRCP-In Pro
Se," "Motion to Amend to Conform with Evidence," and "Motion for
Renewal of Motions for Default Arguments and Authorities." We dis-
pense 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
