GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee ______________________

2022-2183 ______________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in No. 2:19-cv-00287-JRG-RSP, Chief Judge J. Rodney Gilstrap. ______________________

ON MOTION ______________________

PER CURIAM. ORDER Tracy Nixon appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his complaint and moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. In a prior attempt to appeal from this suit, we explained that Mr. Nixon’s complaint failed “to present a non-frivolous claim arising under the patent laws” and that his case was “outside of our limited jurisdiction.” Nixon v. Gen. Motors Corp., No. 2021-1120, slip. op. at 2 (Fed. Cir. Case: 22-2183 Document: 16 Page: 2 Filed: 10/19/2022

2 NIXON v. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION

Jan. 21, 2021) (citation and internal quotation marks omit- ted). Nothing has changed that would warrant a different conclusion here. We therefore transfer this appeal pursu- ant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 to the appropriate regional circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, this appeal and all trans- mittals are transferred to the United States Court of Ap- peals for the Fifth Circuit. FOR THE COURT
