USCA4 Appeal: 26-1204 Doc: 10 Filed: 06/24/2026 Pg: 2 of 2
PER CURIAM: Ronald Satish Emrit (who also identifies himself as Presidential Candidate Number P60005535) filed a notice of appeal in his civil case approximately four months after his case was transferred to the Eastern District of Virgina from the Western District of Tennessee and before the district court had entered any other orders. To the extent that Emrit seeks to appeal the transfer order, this Court does not have jurisdiction to review a transfer order from a district court in another circuit. See Brock v. Entre Comput. Ctrs., Inc., 933 F.2d 1253, 1257 (4th Cir. 1991) (“[W]e have no jurisdiction to review a decision to transfer venue rendered by a district court in another circuit.”). Moreover, Emrit filed his notice of appeal outside the applicable 60-day appeal period. See Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B). And finally, Emrit’s appeal was not otherwise taken from a final order, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, or another appealable interlocutory or collateral order, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949).
Accordingly, we 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
* Because Emrit’s notice of appeal cannot supply jurisdiction to review the district court’s dismissal order entered after he filed his notice of appeal, Emrit must file another notice of appeal if he wishes to appeal that order.
