    PATRICK J. STEEN,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    DEPUTY SERGEANT HURD; DEPUTY SERGEANT ELKINS;
    OFFICER BRUTON; OFFICER HAYNES; OFFICER POE;
    MECKLENBURG COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT,
    Defendants - Appellees.

    Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, at Charlotte. Graham C. Mullen, Chief
    District Judge. (CA-97-544-3-MU)

    Submitted:

    November 4, 1999

    Decided:

    November 10, 1999

    Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and KING, Circuit Judges.

    Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Patrick J. Steen, Appellant Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Patrick J. Steen appeals from the district courts order denying appointment of counsel under 28 U.S.C.A. 1915 (West Supp.
    1999).

    We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the

    order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only


    over final orders, 28 U.S.C. 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ.
    P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541
    (1949).

    The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an

    appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

    See Miller v.

    Simmons, 814 F.2d 962, 967 (4th Cir. 1987).


    We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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
