PER CURIAM:

               Thomas A. Chilton, III, seeks to appeal the district

court’s order denying his motion for a change of venue.                               This

court    may    exercise   jurisdiction          only     over    final      orders,   28

U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v.

Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).                             The

order Chilton seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an

appealable      interlocutory       or    collateral       order.       See     Ellicott

Mach. Corp. v. Modern Welding Co., 502 F.2d 178, 180 (4th Cir.

1974).         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   the     court   and   argument         would   not      aid   the    decisional

process.

                                                                               DISMISSED
