PER CURIAM:

Saul Elbaum seeks to appeal the district court’s order transferring Elbaum’s civil

action against Google, Inc., to the United States District Court for the Northern District of

California. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291,

and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b);

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541, 545-46 (1949). The order Elbaum

seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order.

See TechnoSteel, LLC v. Beers Constr. Co., 271 F.3d 151, 153-54, 154 n.2 (4th Cir. 2001).

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. We deny Google’s motion to

strike Elbaum’s supplemental informal brief. 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
