Looker v. Godwin

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Looker v. Godwin, 3 F. App'x 110 (4th Cir. 2001)

Looker v. Godwin

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Floyd Raymond Looker, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing Defendants Godwin, Raffety, and “other unknown federal officials” and denying Looker’s motion for change of venue. We dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction, because the order is not appealable. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 387 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

We dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. 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.
