PER CURIAM:

              Johnny Lawrence seeks to appeal the district court’s

order transferring his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2006) petition to a

different division within the district court.                        This 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 Lawrence

seeks   to    appeal   is    neither   a       final   order   nor    an   appealable

interlocutory or collateral order.                 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 the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.

                                                                            DISMISSED
