ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before ANDERSON, KELLY, and BRISCOE, Circuit Judges.**

Mr. Watson, an inmate appearing pro se, seeks to appeal from an order of the district court transferring his habeas petition, 28 U.S.C. § 2241, to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. A transfer order is interlocutory and not immediately appealable. See Equifax Servs., Inc. v. Hitz, 905 F.2d 1355, 1362 (10th Cir. 1990). See also Van Orman v. Purkett, 43 F.3d 1201 (8th Cir. 1994); Dobard v. Johnson, 749 F.2d 1503 (11th Cir. 1985).

We deny a certificate of appealability and DISMISS the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

Paul J. Kelly, Jr.

Circuit Judge
