PER CURIAM:
Ronald Wayne Lewis seeks to appeal the district
court’s order granting his motion for an independent firearms
expert (No. 09-6219), and denying his motion for review of the
status of counsel (No. 09-6221). 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. Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for
lack of jurisdiction. Additionally, we deny Lewis’ motion for
release on bond pending appeal, Fed. R. App. P. 9(A)(3), and
deny his motion for appointment of counsel. 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
