UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

No. 97-6133

NOAH R. ROBINSON,

Petitioner - Appellant,

versus

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Respondent - Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Charleston. Charles E. Simons, Jr., Senior District Judge. (CA-95-3666-2-6-AJ)

Submitted: August 28, 1997 Decided: September 16, 1997

Before WILKINS, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Noah R. Robinson, Appellant Pro Se. Miller Williams Shealy, Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charleston, South Carolina, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM:

Appellant appeals from the district court's order transferring

his

(1994) action to the United States District

Court for the Northern District of Illinois. We dismiss the appeal

for lack of jurisdiction because the order is not appealable. See Ellicott Mach. Corp. v. Modern Welding Co.,

(4th

Cir. 1974) (transfer order pursuant to

(a) (1994)

is not immediately appealable). This court may exercise jurisdic-

tion only over final orders,

(1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(1994); Fed.

R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an

appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

Accordingly, we deny Appellant's "Motion to Dismiss Detainer And Indictment with Prejudice" and dismiss the appeal as interlocu-

tory. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
