OPINION OF THE COURT
VAN DUSEN, Senior Circuit Judge.
This is a direct appeal from an order of the United States magistrate, who denied plaintiff’s motion for appointment of counsel in a civil rights suit challenging the defendants’ alleged failure to provide adequate medical treatment. Defendants seek to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the magistrate’s order, which the referring district court has neither reviewed nor adopted, is not a “final” order of the district court within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and that, therefore, this court lacks jurisdiction. We agree.
