Brandon Brown v. Samuel Sullivan

639 F. App'x 191

Opinion

Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Brandon Brown seeks to appeal the district court’s orders transferring this case to the District of Georgia and denying reconsideration of that order. 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., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46, 69 S.Ct. 1221, 93 L.Ed. 1528 (1949). The orders Brown seeks to appeal are neither final orders nor appealable interlocutory or collateral orders. See In re Carefirst of Md., Inc., 305 F.3d 253, 256 (4th Cir.2002). We do not find persuasive Brown’s argument that our holding in Wye Oak Technology, Inc. v. Iraq, 666 F.3d 205, 209-10 (4th Cir. 2011), applies to salvage this appeal. 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.
