complaint (regarding a dispute with his landlord) was re-
solved a decade ago in a different case. On October 2, 2024,
the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
dismissed Mr. Calderon Lopez’s appeal for failure to pros-
ecute. On July 12, 2025, Mr. Calderon Lopez filed a notice
of appeal directed to this court.
This court has repeatedly explained to Mr. Calderon
Lopez that it only has jurisdiction to review district court
cases involving the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1);
civil actions on review to the district court from the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, see id.
§ 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages
claims against the United States not exceeding $10,000 in
amount, see id. §§ 1295(a)(2), 1346(a)(2).1 And this court
has repeatedly explained to Mr. Calderon Lopez that no
court of appeals has authority to review untimely district
court appeals. See 28 U.S.C. § 2107; Fed. R. App. P. 4;
Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).2

Here, Mr. Calderon Lopez’s appeal again falls outside
of this court’s limited subject matter jurisdiction and is un-
timely. Thus, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdic-
tion. Mr. Calderon Lopez is specifically warned that he
may be sanctioned, including the imposition of monetary
and non-monetary penalties, if he files another notice of
appeal directed to this court that is either untimely or in-
volves a case that does not plausibly fall within this court’s
subject matter jurisdiction.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The appeal is dismissed.
(2) All pending motions are denied.
(3) Each party shall bear its own costs.
