United States v. J.

MEMORANDUM **

Darryl Lee James (“Appellant”) appeals the District Court’s order denying his motion to quash the government’s amended indictment. Appellant was initially charged as a juvenile in connection with his alleged crimes. The government, however, moved to have Appellant transferred to adult status. The District Court granted the government’s motion and this Court affirmed the decision in a separate appeal. United States v. Juvenile Male, 107 Fed.Appx. 743, 745 (9th Cir.2004). After Appellant was transferred to adult status, the government amended its indictment to include seven additional charges. Appellant sought to have this indictment quashed, but the District Court denied his motion. Appellant seeks review of this interlocutory decision.

Appellant argues that this ease is suitable for appeal because it meets the requirements of the collateral order exception. The Supreme Court, however, has held that district court decisions refusing to dismiss an indictment do not fall within the collateral order exception, leaving the courts of appeal without jurisdiction. *19United States v. Hollywood Motor Car Co., 458 U.S. 263, 264, 102 S.Ct. 3081, 73 L.Ed.2d 754 (1982) (“[T]he Court of Appeals was without jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 to review the District Court’s interlocutory order refusing to dismiss the indictment.”).

The appeal is DISMISSED.
