United States First Circuit

In an action seeks interlocutory review of a district court decision denying him appointed counsel as a collateral order, in an underlying complaint alleging violation of federal statutes prohibiting discriminatory treatment of disabled persons, the appeal is dismissed where the factors we identified in Appleby v. Meachum, 696 F.2d 145 (1983), for not categorizing the denial of appointed counsel under 28 U.S.C. section 1915(e) as a collateral order logically also apply to denial of appointed-counsel requests under 42 U.S.C. sections 2000a-3(a) and 12188(a)(1).
