PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the district court's order dismissing only
some of the claims alleged in his motion under 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(West 1994 & Supp. 1998). We dismiss the appeal for lack of juris-
diction because the order is not appealable. This court may exer-
cise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994),
and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292
(1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan
Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a
final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
We deny a certificate of appealability, deny the motions to
appoint counsel and stay the appeal, and dismiss the appeal as
interlocutory. 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
