DISMISSED.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant appeals the district court's orders dismissing without prejudice claims against three Defendants for improper service (Case No. 94-6261) and denying appointment of counsel (Case No. 94-6362).* We dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction because the orders are not appealable. This Court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1291 (1988), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1292 (1988); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Industrial Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders here appealed are neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

2

We dismiss the appeals as interlocutory. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED

We consolidated the cases on appeal
