PER CURIAM:
Samuel R. Jackson seeks to appeal the district court’s orders
disposing of several motions filed in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2012)
suit. 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
district court’s denial of Jackson’s motion to appoint counsel and
the court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendant
Lightsey are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or
collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the
appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Jackson also appeals the district court’s denial of three
motions for injunctive relief. The court’s order is an immediately
appealable interlocutory order. 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a)(1). We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order denying injunctive relief.
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 IN PART,
AFFIRMED IN PART
