Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 USCA4 Appeal: 25-1300 Doc: 18 Filed: 12/01/2025 Pg: 3 of 3 PER CURIAM: Gertrude Coretta Fennell Hamilton seeks to appeal the district court’s order denying her motion to reassign her case and affirming the magistrate judge’s order denying her motions for a stay pending appeal. 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 (1949). The order Hamilton seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See In re Va. Elec. & Power Co., 539 F.2d 357, 364 (4th Cir. 1976) (holding that denial of a motion to disqualify is not a final and appealable order); In re Atencio, 913 F.2d 814, 817 (10th Cir. 1990) (“When a district court, acting in its appellate capacity, denies a stay of a bankruptcy order pending appeal, the court of appeals lacks jurisdiction to review that interlocutory order under [28 U.S.C.] § 1292(a).”). 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 3
