PER CURIAM:

        Humbert Carreras appeals the district court’s order construing

a 28 U.S.C. § 2241 (1994) petition filed by Carreras and four other

petitioners as a joint 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West Supp. 2000) motion

and transferring the petition to the United States District Court

for the District of Puerto Rico.

        This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders,

28 U.S.C. § 1291 (1994), and certain interlocutory and collateral

orders.     28 U.S.C. § 1292 (1994); Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b); see also

Cohen v. Beneficial Indus. Loan Corp., 337 U.S. 541 (1949).         The

transfer of a post-conviction petition to another district court is

not a final order, nor is it appealable as a collateral order.

Middlebrooks v. Smith, 735 F.2d 431 (11th Cir. 1984).

     Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal as interlocutory. Further,

only Carreras signed the notice of appeal, so he is the only Appel-

lant.    Covington v. Allsbrook, 636 F.2d 63, 64 (4th Cir. 1980).    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
