PER CURIAM:
In these consolidated appeals, David Meyers has filed interlocutory appeals from
nonfinal orders. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
Before considering an appeal, we must ensure we have jurisdiction. See
Feldman v. Law Enf’t Assocs. Corp., 752 F.3d 339, 346 (4th Cir. 2014) (recognizing
Court’s obligation to consider questions of jurisdiction sua sponte). We may exercise
jurisdiction only over final decisions, 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, 545-47 (1949). “Generally, a district court order is not
final until it has resolved all claims as to all parties.” Hunter v. Town of Mocksville, 789
F.3d 389, 402 (4th Cir. 2015) (internal quotation marks omitted).
In No. 19-6184, Meyers appeals the district court’s orders denying Meyers’
motions for appointment of counsel, to reconsider the denial of a motion for appointment
of counsel, for recusal, and to seal. Because these are nonfinal orders, we lack
jurisdiction.
In No. 19-6487, Meyers appeals the district court’s order denying Meyers’ motion
for recusal of the magistrate judge. We lack jurisdiction over this nonfinal order.
Accordingly, we dismiss these appeals for lack of jurisdiction. In No. 19-6184,
we deny Meyers’ to reconsider the order denying leave to proceed on appeal without
prepayment of fees under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. In No. 19-6487, we deny
Meyers’ motion for leave to proceed without prepayment of fees. We dispense with oral
3
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
