John Kalu v. United States

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
John Kalu v. United States, 709 F. App'x 228 (4th Cir. 2018)

John Kalu v. United States

Opinion

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

John Oscar Kalu seeks to appeal the district court’s order transferring his case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2012), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2012); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 387 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The order Kalu seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an ap-pealable interlocutory or collateral order. See Ellicott Mach. Corp. v. Modern Welding Co., 502 F.2d 178, 180 (4th Cir. 1974). 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
