HUBBARD v. KANSAS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND
ENVIRONMENT
2
P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
Ronda Kaye Hubbard filed a complaint naming multi-
ple defendants, including federal, state, and nongovern-
mental entities. She alleged violations of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983
and 1985 and sought $166 million, medical treatment, in-
surance, and protection for herself and family members.
The district court dismissed, and Ms. Hubbard filed an ap-
peal directed to this court. On February 20, 2025, this
court directed the parties to show cause why this case
should not be dismissed or transferred for lack of jurisdic-
tion. The only party to respond, the Social Security Admin-
istration, urges this court to transfer to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
This court’s jurisdiction to review district court cases is
generally limited to 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 § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages
claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in
amount,” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2).
This case is outside of that limited subject matter jurisdic-
tion. We may transfer to another court, if it is in the inter-
est of justice, where “the action or appeal could have been
brought at the time it was filed.” 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Here,
the court concludes it appropriate to transfer to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Accordingly,
