    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff--Appellee,
    v.
    Nathaniel Craig THOMPSON, Defendant--Appellant.
    No. 95-6972.

    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.


    Submitted: Aug. 24, 1995.
    Decided: Sept. 19, 1995.

    Nathaniel Craig Thompson, appellant pro se. Harry Thomas Church,


    Assistant United States Attorney, Charlotte, NC, for appellee.
    Before WIDENER, HALL, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:

    Appellant appeals the district court's denial of a discovery motion in his 28


    U.S.C. Sec. 2255 (1988) action. 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. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and
    collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v.
    Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order here appealed
    is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

    We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. We deny Appellant's motion for


    appointment of counsel and 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.

    DISMISSED.
