PER CURIAM:
Crystal VL Rivers seeks to appeal the district court’s order adopting in part the
magistrate judge’s recommendations, dismissing some of the claims in Rivers’s civil action
with prejudice, and dismissing some of her other claims without prejudice. 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 Rivers 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 also deny Rivers’s motions to recuse the district judge,
to extend the time to file her reply brief, to transfer the case, and to order the district court
to docket certain pleadings.
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
