        PER CURIAM:

               Dan C. Gramatic seeks to appeal the magistrate judge’s order denying his self-styled

        motion to continue disability benefit payments and the district court’s order transferring

        his case to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. 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 orders Gramatic seeks to appeal are neither final

        orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. See TechnoSteel, LLC v. Beers

        Constr. Co., 271 F.3d 151, 160-161 (4th Cir. 2001) (holding that court of appeals lacks

        jurisdiction to review transfer order once case file is transferred to court outside circuit and

        nonappealable interlocutory or collateral decisions also transfer with case). 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

                                                       2
