    Ronald Lewis sought to appeal a district court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence in his criminal trial. The appeals court found that it did not have jurisdiction over the appeal because the district court's order was not a final judgment and did not fall under any exceptions. As such, the appeals court dismissed the appeal and denied Lewis' motions for appointment of counsel and release on bail pending appeal.

    Submitted:

    Decided:

    March 23, 2009

    Before TRAXLER, KING, and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

    Nunnally, Special Assistant United States
    Virginia, for Appellee.

    Kevin Christopher
    Attorney, Richmond,

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

    PER CURIAM:
    Ronald Wayne Lewis seeks to appeal from the district
    courts order denying his motion to suppress evidence in his
    criminal trial.

    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

    (1949).

    v.

    Beneficial

    Indus.

    Loan

    Corp.,

    337

    U.S.

    541

    The order Lewis seeks to appeal is neither a final

    order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

    See

    United States v. North Am. Coal Exch., 676 F.2d 99, 100 (4th
    Cir. 1982).

    Accordingly, we deny Lewis motions for appointment

    of counsel and for release on bail pending appeal and dismiss


    the appeal.

    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
