2 EMIABATA v. BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON TRUST CO.

United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. 1 In response to this court’s August 15, 2024 order to show cause, the Emiabatas urge transfer to the Third Circuit in the event that the court finds it lacks jurisdiction. This court’s jurisdiction to review district court cases is generally limited to cases involving 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 Trademark Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2). This case does not fall within that jurisdiction. Under the circumstances of this case, we deem it the better course to transfer this matter to the Third Circuit. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1631; cf. 28 U.S.C. § 1651. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The appeal and all case filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. FOR THE COURT

November 19, 2024 Date

1 Believing the appeal to the Third Circuit was filed in error, the Emiabatas voluntarily dismissed that appeal.
