LEWIS v. FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Jack E. LEWIS, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant, v. FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION, Defendant-Appellee.

No. 18-6336

Decided: June 26, 2018

Before DIAZ and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge. Jack E. Lewis, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.

Jack E. Lewis, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court's order denying his motion for appointment of counsel. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Lewis seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we deny the motion for 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
