2012-1680

Before NEWMAN, PROST, and WALLACH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

ORDER Case: 12-1680 Document: 8 Page: 2 Filed: 12/27/2012

DAVID JACKSON V. SHINSEKI 2

The Secretary of Veterans Mfairs moves to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. This appeal concerns an order of the United States District Court for the District of Colorado dismissing David Jackson's complaint alleging various claims regard- ing the Privacy Act against the Department of Veterans Mfairs and denying several motions including leave to replead. Because the district court's jurisdiction did not arise in whole or in part under the laws governing this court's limited appellate jurisdiction, we are without authority to entertain this appeal. Since the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit has already received and docketed the matter, dismissal rather than transfer of the case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 is ap- propriate. Accordingly, IT Is ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion to dismiss is granted. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs. (3) All other motions are denied as moot.
