PER CURIAM:

My’Ka El seeks to appeal the district court’s order dismissing his civil action in part
and granting him 30 days within which to file an amended complaint. This court may
exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2018), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2018); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen
v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order El seeks to appeal
is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we
deny El’s motion for the appointment of counsel 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 this court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
