PER CURIAM:
Derek N. Jarvis seeks to appeal the district court’s
July 7, 2009, order denying numerous motions filed in Jarvis’ 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (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, 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 (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
