PER CURIAM.
O R D E R
Ricardo J. Calderon Lopez brought suit against the
State of California Bar Association and Jackson Lewis LLP
alleging, among other things, a conspiracy related to his
inclusion on the Judicial Council of California’s Vexatious
Litigant List. Dkt. No. 1 at 1–3. The United States District

CALDERON LOPEZ v. STATE OF CALIFORNIA BAR ASSOCIATION 2
his post-judgment motion. Mr. Calderon Lopez then filed
a notice of appeal directed to this court.
As we have previously explained to Mr. Calderon
Lopez,1 this court’s jurisdiction to review district court de-
cisions is 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 id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages
claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in
amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id. § 1295(a)(2). This case
plainly does not fall within that jurisdiction. We therefore
transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit under 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pur-
suant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
