MEMORANDUM**
Ronald Everett, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's denial of his motions for appointment of counsel and for a temporary restraining order ("TRO") in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
The district court's order denying Everett's request for appointment of counsel is not a final, appealable order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, nor is it immediately appealable under the collateral order exception to the final judgment rule. See Kuster v. Block, 773 F.2d 1048, 1049 (9th Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of Everett's appeal. See id.
Similarly, an appeal from the denial of a TRO is considered premature and is disallowed " 'in the interests of avoiding uneconomical piecemeal appellate review.' " Religious Technology Ctr., Church of Scientology Int'l, Inc. v. Scott, 869 F.2d 1306, 1309 (9th Cir. 1989) (quoting Kimball v. Commandant Twelfth Naval Dist., 423 F.2d 88, 89 (9th Cir. 1970)). Thus, we dismiss Everett's appeal from the denial of his motion for a TRO. See Hunt v. National Broadcasting Co., 872 F.2d 289, 292 (9th Cir. 1989).
DISMISSED.
