    This document summarizes two appeals filed by Lawrence Johnson in United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit regarding orders issued in a case against prison officials. The court dismissed both appeals for lack of jurisdiction, as the orders Johnson sought to appeal (denying his motion to appoint counsel and laying venue) were not final orders or appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. The court also denied Johnson's motion to appoint counsel.

    This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28
    U.S.C. 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

    Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).
