Derek Jarvis, Shirley J. Pittman, Appellants Pro Se. John Benjamin Raftery, OFFIT KURMAN, PA, Bethesda, Maryland; Edward Barry Lattner, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, Rockville, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Derek N. Jarvis seeks to appeal the district court’s

July 7, 2009, order denying numerous motions filed in Jarvis’

(2006) action. On appeal, Jarvis objects from the

portion of the court’s order denying his motion to recuse the

district judge from his case. This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2006),

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Jarvis seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory

or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for

lack of jurisdiction. 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
