UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff - Appellee,

v.

CHARLES ADKINS,

Defendant - Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, at Clarksburg. Irene M. Keeley, District Judge. (1:13-cr-00017-IMK-JSK-1)

Submitted: December 17, 2013 Decided: December 19, 2013

Before KING, GREGORY, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Charles Adkins, Appellant Pro Se. Shawn Angus Morgan, Assistant United States Attorney, Clarksburg, West Virginia, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Charles Adkins seeks to appeal the district court’s

order in a pending criminal case denying his motions for

recusal. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final

orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2006), and certain interlocutory and

collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2006); Fed. R. Civ. P.

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541

, 545-

46 (1949). An order denying recusal 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

this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
