DEANA J. KINDER; ANTHONY K. KINDER, Plaintiffs - Appellants, v. CITY OF MYRTLE BEACH, Defendant – Appellee, JOHN DOES 1-99, Defendants.
Deana J. Kinder and Anthony K. Kinder appeal from the district court's order dismissing their action as barred by the South Carolina statute of limitations. We have reviewed the record provided on appeal and the arguments of the parties, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm in part for the reasons stated by the district court. Kinder v. City of Myrtle Beach, No. 4:15-cv-01416-RBH (D.S.C. Jan. 19, 2017).
The Kinders also seek to appeal from the order entered by federal district court in Ohio transferring this case to the district court in South Carolina. We are without jurisdiction to consider a transfer order entered by a district court not within our territorial jurisdiction. See Preston Corp. v. Raese, 335 F.2d 827, 828 (4th Cir. 1964); see 28 U.S.C. § 1294(1) (2012). Accordingly, we dismiss this portion of the appeal. 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.
AFFIRMED IN PART; DISMISSED IN PART
