    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Eric RICHARDSON, a/k/a Father, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 17-6636
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: July 27, 2017
    Decided: August 1, 2017
    Eric Richardson, Appellant Pro Se. Michael Clayton Hanlon,- Assistant United States Attorney, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.
    Before AGEE and FLOYD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Eric Richardson seeks to appeal the distinct court’s order denying his motion to recuse the district judge in his pending habeas proceedings. 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, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Richardson seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appeal-able- interlocutory or collateral order. 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
