PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, James Anthony Barnett, Jr., seeks to appeal the
district court’s orders denying Barnett’s motion to reconsider the order denying a
settlement conference and denying Barnett’s 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 orders Barnett seeks to appeal are neither final
orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we dismiss these
appeals 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
