See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Larry L. Bush seeks to appeal an order denying the motion for
recusal of the district judge. This court may exercise jurisdiction
only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2000); Fed.
R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S.
541 (1949). The order Bush seeks to appeal is neither a final order
nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly,
we deny the motions for preparation of transcript at government
expense and 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
