                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                          for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:22-CR-219-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         Gavin Davis is a pre-trial detainee proceeding pro se. This is an inter-
   locutory appeal of the denial of his purported 18 U.S.C. § 3164 motion for
   immediate release from detention.
         We first examine the basis of our jurisdiction. Mosley v. Cozby,
   813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir. 1987). Federal appellate courts have jurisdiction

Case: 23-50812      Document: 00517059192           Page: 2    Date Filed: 02/07/2024

                                     No. 23-50812

   over appeals only from final orders per 28 U.S.C. § 1291; (2) orders that are
   deemed final per a jurisprudential exception, such as the collateral order doc-
   trine; (3) interlocutory orders specified in 28 U.S.C. § 1292(a); and (4) inter-
   locutory orders that are properly certified for appeal by the district court
   under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b) or 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b). Dardar
   v. Lafourche Realty Co., 849 F.2d 955, 957 (5th Cir. 1988).
          Davis’s notice of interlocutory appeal asserts that he is appealing the
   denial of his motion for immediate release under § 3164. But § 3164 became
   ineffective on July 1, 1980, when the provisions of 18 U.S.C. § 3162 took
   effect. See 18 U.S.C. § 3163(c); United States v. Krohn, 558 F.2d 390, 393 (8th
   Cir. 1977). Section 3162 now provides for the dismissal of an indictment
   when the Speedy Trial Act is violated. 18 U.S.C. § 3162(a)(1), (2). But we
   lack jurisdiction to consider interlocutory appeals of denials of Speedy Trial
   Act rulings. See United States v. Crawford Enters., 754 F.2d 1272, 1273 (5th
   Cir. 1985).
          In addition, Davis has filed motions in this court seeking to stay the
   trial in the district court, to consolidate this case with another pending inter-
   locutory appeal (No. 23-50917), for the appointment of counsel, for release
   from detention per Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 9, and to extend the
   time to file a reply to the government’s response to his motion for release. In
   light of our determination that we lack jurisdiction, Davis’s motions are
   DENIED. Because we lack jurisdiction to consider Davis’s interlocutory
   appeal, the appeal is DISMISSED.
