Deafueh Monbo, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Anthony Damiano, SHAW, MORROW & JOSEPH, PA, Hunt Valley, Maryland; Michael Kevin Wiggins, WHARTON, LEVIN, EHRMANTRAUT & KLEIN, P.A., Annapolis, Maryland; Benjamin Skipp Harvey, KIERNAN TREBACH, LLP, Washington, D.C.; Carolyn Israel Stein, CAROLYN STEIN, Washington, D.C., for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

2 PER CURIAM:

Deafueh Monbo seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her motion for

recusal. 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 Monbo seeks to

appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Vuono

v. United States, 441 F.2d 271, 272 (4th Cir. 1971). 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
