Riccardo Darnell Jones, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Riccardo Darnell Jones seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motions for in camera review and

appointment of counsel and dismissing some but not all parties

from 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 Jones 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 further deny Jones’ motion

for appointment of counsel. 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
