Before NIEMEYER, KEENAN, and FLOYD, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Brian Keith Rogers, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM: Brian Keith Rogers seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying Rogers’ motion for recusal of the then-presiding judge. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).

The order Rogers seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss this 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
