2 PER CURIAM:

William Scott Davis, II, seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motions for recusal, motions for

relief from judgment, and requests for permission to file

additional motions. This court may exercise jurisdiction only

over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291

(2012), and certain

interlocutory and collateral orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1292

(2012);

Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

337 U.S. 541, 545-46

(1949). The order Davis 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 this court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

DISMISSED
