Roann Nichols, Office of U.S. Attorney, for appellees.
Before DONALD RUSSELL and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:
Olayinka Sobamowo, a federal prisoner, appeals the district court's denial of his motion for appointment of counsel to assist him in prosecuting his civil rights action. The denial of a motion for appointment of counsel is not appealable prior to the entry of final judgment. Miller v. Simmons, 814 F.2d 962, 967 (4th Cir.), 56 U.S.L.W. 3267 (U.S. Oct. 13, 1987) (Nos. 86-6884, 86-7132). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We dispense with oral argument because the dispositive issue has recently been authoritatively decided.
DISMISSED.
