No. 21-1162

Decided: May 17, 2021

Before MOTZ, WYNN, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.

Crystal VL Rivers, Appellant Pro Se. Eric Daniel Chapman, COWANPERRY PC, Blacksburg, Virginia; Maurice Scott Fisher, Jr., Brian Patrick O'Grady, HARMAN CLAYTOR CORRIGAN & WELLMAN, Richmond, Virginia; John Benjamin Rottenborn, WOODS ROGERS, PLC, Roanoke, Virginia; Edward Albion Armfield, OVERSTREET SLOAN, PLLC, Forest, Virginia; Chad Allan Mooney, PETTY LIVINGSTON DAWSON & RICHARDS, Lynchburg, Virginia; Floyd Elbert Isenhour, III, CASKIE & FROST, Lynchburg, Virginia, for Appellees.

Crystal VL Rivers seeks to appeal the district court's order adopting in part the magistrate judge's recommendations, dismissing some of the claims in Rivers's civil action with prejudice, and dismissing some of her other claims without prejudice. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Rivers seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We also deny Rivers's motions to recuse the district judge, to extend the time to file her reply brief, to transfer the case, and to order the district court to docket certain pleadings.

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.
