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
