PER CURIAM:

Jerome Want seeks to appeal the district court’s orders

denying his motion to recuse the district court judge assigned to 

his case, his motion to appoint counsel, and his motion for 

reconsideration. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over 

final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory 

and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 

54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-

46 (1949). The orders Want 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 this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
