Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in No. 1:20-cv-03090-EGS, Judge Em- met G. Sullivan. ______________________

Before LOURIE, PROST, and STOLL, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. ORDER Kenneth Antoine Chloe appeals from the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Colum- bia arising out of a private-employment dispute. In re- sponse to this court’s December 6, 2023, order to show Case: 24-1093 Document: 12 Page: 2 Filed: 02/05/2024

2 CHLOE v. DENT

cause, the appellee urges dismissal. Mr. Chloe urges that this court retain jurisdiction over the case. Our jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district courts extends only to cases arising under the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the dis- trict court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); or 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); 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(1). This case is outside of that limited subject matter jurisdiction. We may transfer to another court, if it is in the interest of justice, where “the action or appeal could have been brought at the time it was filed.” 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Here, the court concludes that transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. FOR THE COURT
