PER CURIAM:
Gregory Richardson appeals the order of the United States District Court for the
Western District of Virginia transferring his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition to the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. 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 order Richardson 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,
256 (4th Cir. 2002). 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
