PER CURIAM
David Hill seeks to appeal the district court's order transferring his pending 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition to Hill's criminal case and closing the separate civil action as improvidently opened. This court may exercise jurisdiction only over final orders, 28 U.S.C. § 1291, 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, 545-46 (1949). The order Hill 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
[*] Hill's § 2241 petition remains pending in the district court, albeit now under Hill's criminal case number.
