2 HARRIS v. DVA

As this court explained in the show cause order, we lack jurisdiction over this matter by operation of 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(2) but may transfer it to a court where the action could have been brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. The action could not have been brought directly in a court of appeals but could have been brought in district court pur- suant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5. See also 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(2). The Department points out that the Northern District of Alabama is the district court most convenient to where Ms. Harris was employed at the time of the person- nel action involved in this case. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, this matter and all trans- mittals are transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
