2 PER CURIAM:

Crystal VL Rivers seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting in part the

magistrate judge’s recommendations, dismissing some of the claims in Rivers’s civil action

with prejudice, and dismissing some of her other claims without prejudice. 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 Rivers 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 also deny Rivers’s motions to recuse the district judge,

to extend the time to file her reply brief, to transfer the case, and to order the district court

to docket certain pleadings.

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
