UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
MARK ST. PÉ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:92-CR-459-1-A
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, JONES, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Mark St. Pé, federal prisoner number 23104-034, is serving a
204-month sentence following his guilty plea to charges of
conspiracy to possess cocaine with the intent to distribute and
using and carrying a firearm in relation to a drug-trafficking
crime. St. Pé seeks a certificate of appealability (COA) to
appeal the district court’s order transferring his successive 28
U.S.C. § 2255 motion to this court.
We must examine the basis of our jurisdiction sua sponte
if necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th Cir.

1987). An order transferring a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion to this court is a non-appealable interlocutory order.
See Brinar v. Williamson, 245 F.3d 515, 516-18 (5th Cir. 2001).
This court is without jurisdiction to consider St. Pé’s appeal.
Accordingly, St. Pé’s motion for a COA is DENIED, and the appeal
is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.
MOTION DENIED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
