Respondents-Appellees.

--------------------

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Eastern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:02-CV-344

--------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Eric Sharpe is serving a 20-year sentence following a 

court-martial conviction for drug trafficking. He filed a

habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241 seeking to overturn his

conviction and to recover compensatory damages including back-pay

and allowances. The district court transferred the action to the

Court of Federal Claims. Sharpe seeks to appeal the transfer

order.

The transfer order is not an appealable final judgment under

28 U.S.C. § 1291, nor a certified appealable interlocutory order

under 28 U.S.C. 1292. See Persyn v. United States, 935 F.2d 69,

72 (5th Cir. 1991). Neither is it appealable under the

collateral order doctrine. See Brinar v. Williamson, 245 F.3d

515, 516-18 (5th Cir. 2001); Stelly v. Employers Nat’l Ins. Co.,

431 F.2d 1251, 1253 (5th Cir. 1970). We therefore lack appellate

jurisdiction, and the appeal is DISMISSED.

DISMISSED.
