William H. Evans, Jr., Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

      William H. Evans, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s

order transferring his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) action to the

Southern District of Ohio.           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 (1949).             The order Evans seeks to appeal is

neither   a     final    order     nor    an   appealable      interlocutory    or

collateral order.         See In re Carefirst of Md., Inc., 305 F.3d
253 (4th Cir. 2002).            Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in

forma pauperis and 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

                                          2
