Idokogi v. Ashcroft
Idokogi v. Ashcroft
Opinion
Duncan Victor Ayemere Idokogi seeks to appeal the district court’s orders transferring his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000) petition, which the district court construed as a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (2000) petition, to the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, and denying reconsideration.
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., 337 U.S. 541, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order here appealed is neither a final order nor an appeal-able interlocutory or collateral order. See Technosteel, L.L.C. v. Beers Constr. Co., 271 F.3d 151, 153-54 & n. 2 (4th Cir. 2001). 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.
