PER CURIAM:
Andrew A. Aquila seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion to
disqualify the district court judge and denying Aquila’s motion to vacate that order.* 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 (1949). The orders Aquila seeks to appeal are
neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. 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
* Aquila filed motions to disqualify counsel, to vacate void orders, to stay appellate
proceedings, to schedule oral argument, to certify a question of law to the United States
Supreme Court, and to expedite. We deny those motions.
