PER CURIAM:
Caustin Lee Mclaughlin seeks to appeal the district court’s February 12, 2025,
notice reflecting its receipt of Mclaughlin’s complaint as transferred to that court by the
United States Court of Federal Claims. 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 notice that Mclaughlin seeks to appeal is neither a final order, given that litigation on
his claims is ongoing, nor is it an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. Accordingly,
we dismiss this 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
