PER CURIAM:

Brian David Hill seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motions for

appointment of a special master and appointment of counsel, his motion to reconsider, and

his motion to extend time for the Government to respond to his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion.

This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The orders Hill seeks to appeal

are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we

dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
