PER CURIAM:
Martin A. Crawford seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying appointment of counsel for his 28 U.S.C. § 2255
(2000) motion. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over
final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain interlocutory
and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).
The order Crawford seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an
appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny
a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal for lack of
jurisdiction. 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
