Freeman L. Hankins, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

- 2 - PER CURIAM:

Freeman L. Hankins seeks to appeal the district court’s

order dismissing some of his claims as frivolous in his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 (2000) action. This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.

R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.

541 (1949). The order Hankins 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

grant Hankins’ motions to amend his informal brief and deny his

motions to appoint counsel, to amend his complaint for summary

judgment and “to file 28 U.S.C. § 1331.” 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
