LESLIE DAVIS JR v. BRAD LIVINGSTON BRYAN COLLIER MATT GROSS KEVIN WHEAT BILLY REEVES (2017)

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

LESLIE J. DAVIS, JR., Plaintiff-Appellant v. BRAD LIVINGSTON; BRYAN COLLIER; MATT GROSS; KEVIN WHEAT; BILLY REEVES, Defendants-Appellees

No. 16-40732

Decided: June 29, 2017

Before JONES, WIENER, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

Leslie J. Davis, Jr., Texas prisoner # 676293, appeals an order by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas transferring his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action to the Eastern District of Texas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). We lack jurisdiction to review this non-final decision. See In re Volkswagen of Am., Inc., 545 F.3d 304, 319 (5th Cir. 2008) (en banc); Askanase v. Livingwell, Inc., 981 F.2d 807, 809-10 (5th Cir. 1993). Instead, a petition for writ of mandamus is the appropriate means for contesting the order. See Volkswagen, 545 F.3d at 308-09. The appeal is DISMISSED, and the motion for an order holding the defendants in contempt is DENIED.
