--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 1:05-CV-267
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sheddrick A. Harris, federal prisoner # 12207-076, is
serving a 240-month sentence following a jury conviction for
conspiring to commit murder in retaliation against a federal
informant, threatening to cause and causing bodily injury to a
federal informant with the intent to retaliate, and causing
bodily injury to the wife of a federal informant with the intent
to retaliate. He filed a habeas petition under 28 U.S.C. § 2241
asserting that the district court had wrongly calculated his base
offense level and had used the wrong version of the Sentencing
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
No. 06-30871

Guidelines. The district court construed the action as a
successive 28 U.S.C. § 2255 motion and transferred it to the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Harris seeks to appeal the
transfer order.
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 transfer order. See Brinar v. Williamson, 245 F.3d
515, 517-18 (5th Cir. 2001). Therefore, the appeal is DISMISSED.
