Before JOLLY, BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
In this habeas corpus case filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 2241, Godfrey Okechuku Obiozor, federal prisoner # 59498-079,
filed a notice of appeal from an order of the district court
construing his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition as a 28 U.S.C. § 2255
motion and transferring it to this court for consideration of
whether it meets the requirements for filing a successive 28
U.S.C. § 2255 motion. Obiozor has indicated that he is not
seeking to raise a successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion, and he

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

argues that the district court erred in construing his petition
as such.
This court must examine the basis of its jurisdiction on its
own motion if necessary. Mosley v. Cozby, 813 F.2d 659, 660 (5th
Cir. 1987). We lack jurisdiction over the district court’s
interlocutory order. See Brinar v. Williamson, 245 F.3d 515, 518
(5th Cir. 2001). Therefore, the appeal is DISMISSED. The case
is TRANSFERRED to the United States District Court for the
Western District of Louisiana for consideration of Obiozor’s 28
U.S.C. § 2241 petition.
APPEAL DISMISSED; CASE TRANSFERRED TO THE DISTRICT COURT.
