Outcome
The Fourth Circuit dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, holding that an order denying the plaintiff's motion to recuse the district court judge is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory order under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and § 1292.

**Why This Matters for Workers**

However, the fact that an employee was able to bring a case against a law firm and have it heard in federal appeals court shows that workers do have legal options when workplace disputes arise. Workers facing employment issues should document problems carefully and consider consulting with employment attorneys who can explain their rights and options under current employment laws.
