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 Nwosu seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See In re Va. Elec. & Power Co., 539 F.2d 357, 364 (4th Cir. 1976); accord Mischler v. Bevin, 887 F.3d 271, 271 (6th Cir. 2018) (per curiam) (“[A]n order denying recusal is not immediately appealable under the collateral order doctrine.”). 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
