Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Alexandria. James C. Cacheris, Senior District Judge. (1:08-cv-00792-JCC-TRJ) Submitted: August 26, 2009 Decided: September 3, 2009 Before MICHAEL, GREGORY, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. David Louis Whitehead, Appellant Pro Se. Andrew Steven Cabana, Joseph Erwin Schuler, JACKSON LEWIS, LLP, Reston, Virginia; Justin Florence, O’MELVENY & MYERS, LLP, Washington, D.C., for Appellees. 2 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 3 PER CURIAM: David Louis Whitehead seeks to appeal the district court’s orders denying his motion to recuse the district court judge; ruling on six separate motions filed by Whitehead; and denying a stay or reconsideration of the district court’s order disposing of Whitehead’s six motions. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The orders Whitehead seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. Accordingly, we deny Whitehead’s July 2, 2009 motion to consolidate eight pending appeals and dismiss these three consolidated appeals 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 4
