JIMMY D. RIOS, Plaintiff - Appellant, v. PASQUOTANK MEDICAL STAFF, Defendant - Appellee, and ELIZABETH ALBISTON; JOHN H. CONNELL, Defendants.
Jimmy Dean Rios, Appellant Pro Se.
UNPUBLISHED
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, at Raleigh. Terrence W. Boyle, District Judge. (5:11-ct-03112-BO) Before SHEDD, DAVIS, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Jimmy Dean Rios, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:
Jimmy Dean Rios seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motion for appointment of counsel. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Rios 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 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
