Idolor v. Espiritu
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
The court considers whether this recently docketed appeal should be transferred.
Leilani G. Idolor sued Elvis J. Espíritu in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, seeking child support payments. The district court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, stating that it did not have diversity jurisdiction over such cases. Idolor appealed, using a form that identified this court as the court to which her appeal was directed.
This court is a court of limited appellate jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295. It is clear that this court does not have jurisdiction over this appeal. Thus, we transfer this appeal to the court that would have jurisdiction over this appeal, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Cir
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
This appeal is transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
The clerk should also transmit to the Fifth Circuit the copies of the brief that are in this court’s file.
