PER CURIAM:
Hassaan Haakim Rashaad, a federal prisoner, seeks to appeal the district court’s
order denying Rashaad’s motion to compel his former attorney to provide Rashaad with
portions of his trial transcript. This motion was filed in conjunction with the counseled
28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2012) motion that is currently pending in the district court. This court
may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen
v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Rashaad seeks
to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.
Accordingly, we 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
