PER CURIAM:
Warren A. Taylor seeks to appeal the district court’s
order transferring his consolidated civil action to the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Georgia pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1406(a) (2000). This court may exercise
jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2000), 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 (1949). The order Taylor seeks to appeal is neither a final
order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. See In
re Carefirst of Md., Inc., 305 F.3d 253, 257 (4th Cir. 2002).
Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny as
moot Taylor’s motions for a statement in lieu of transcript, to
submit the case on the brief, to expedite his appeal, and for a
stay of the judgment pending appeal, and 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 the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
DISMISSED
