JEANPIERRE v. US 2
This court’s limited subject matter jurisdiction does not
extend to appeals directly from the Board. 28 U.S.C.
§ 1295. When this court lacks jurisdiction, it may, under
28 U.S.C. § 1631, transfer a case to another court where it
could have been brought. While the United States indi-
cates that the United States Court of Federal Claims would
have jurisdiction over this matter generally, it urges dis-
missal on the ground that the applicable statute of limita-
tions would bar any claim before the Court of Federal
Claims. We deem it the better course to transfer the case
to the Court of Federal Claims to make a determination as
to the application of the statute of limitations in the first
instance.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, this case and all trans-
mittals are transferred to the United States Court of Fed-
eral Claims.
