SYLVESTER THOMAS v. DEBORAH MCCULLOCH, DIRECTOR 2

ferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Thomas appeals from a decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin dismissing his petition for writ of habeus corpus. This is a court of limited jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Because this case does not fall within our jurisdiction, the court will transfer the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Accordingly, IT Is ORDERED THAT:

This appeal and the pending motion will be trans- ferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
