SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, Respondent - Appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Deborah K. Chasanow, District Judge. (8:08-cv-02280-DKC) Submitted: April 16, 2009 Decided: April 23, 2009 Before WILKINSON, NIEMEYER, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges. Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Robert J. Zani, Appellant Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Robert J. Zani seeks to appeal the district court s order transferring Court for the his action Northern to District the of United Texas. States This District court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (2006), and certain interlocutory and collateral orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1292 (2006); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949). The order Zani seeks to appeal is neither a final order nor an appealable interlocutory or collateral order. (4th Cir. 1986) See Gower v. Lehman, 799 F.2d 925, 927 (noting that transfers under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404(a), 1406(b) (2006) are interlocutory and therefore not appealable). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal. 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 2
