PER CURIAM:
Ronald Wayne Lewis seeks to appeal from the district
court’s 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 v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541
(1949). 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
