PER CURIAM.
In this diversity action, Gwen Caranchini appeals after the district court’s1
adverse grant of summary judgment and denial of her subsequent motion requesting
recusal. Caranchini’s notice of appeal (NOA) designated her intent to appeal the
district court’s order granting summary judgment. In her briefs, Caranchini
challenges only the denial of her request for recusal. Defendant Nationstar Mortgage,
LLC, asserts that Caranchini’s challenge is outside the scope of this appeal, because
the NOA identified only the order granting summary judgment. We agree. See
USCOC of Greater Mo. v. City of Ferguson, Mo., 583 F.3d 1035, 1040 (8th Cir.
2009) (no jurisdiction to decide issues on appeal that were not designated, and
therefore not preserved, in NOA). See also Evance v. Truman Health Services, LLC,
719 F.3d 673, 677 (8th Cir. 2013) (appellate review is limited to issues identified in
NOA). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
