PER CURIAM:
William H. Evans, Jr., seeks to appeal the district court’s
order transferring his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2012) action to the
Southern District of Ohio. This court may exercise jurisdiction
only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain
interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012);
Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,
337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Evans 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 (4th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in
forma pauperis and 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
