CHLOE v. DENT 2
cause, the appellee urges dismissal. Mr. Chloe urges that
this court retain jurisdiction over the case.
Our jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district
courts extends only to cases arising under the patent laws,
see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the dis-
trict court from the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); or 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);
28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(1). This case is outside of that limited
subject matter jurisdiction. We may transfer to another
court, if it is in the interest 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 that transfer
to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit is appropriate.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
