Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Richmond. Henry E. Hudson, District Judge. (3:16-cv-00650-HEH)

Before NIEMEYER, DUNCAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Tarsha Gerald, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Tarsha Gerald seeks to appeal the district court’s order

transferring her pending civil rights action from the Eastern

District of Virginia to the Western District of Virginia under

(a) (2012). This court may exercise

jurisdiction only over final orders,

(2012),

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders,

(2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus.

Loan Corp.,

(1949). The order Gerald seeks

to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable

interlocutory or collateral order. E.g., In re Carefirst of

Md., Inc.,

(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
