2 SAKON v. JOHNSON

John Alan Sakon sued local and state officials in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut alleging various civil rights violations. The district court dismissed the complaint, and Mr. Sakon filed a notice of appeal directed to this court. In response to this court’s show cause order, appellees argue that this court lacks ju- risdiction, while Mr. Sakon asks for transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. 1 In general, this court’s jurisdiction to review district court cases is limited to cases that arise under the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the district court from the United States Patent and Trade- mark Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); or cases that involve cer- tain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), see § 1295(a)(2). Mr. Sakon’s case does not fall within that ju- risdiction, and we conclude that transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit is appropri- ate. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294, 1631. Accordingly,

1 Mr. Sakon has moved to file his response to the show cause order out-of-time, ECF No. 14, which is granted. Case: 24-1747 Document: 24 Page: 3 Filed: 07/24/2024
