2 DUBOSE v. US

Mr. DuBose brought suit against the United States in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, seeking $100,000,000 “pursuant to the Fed- eral Tort Claims Act 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b).” Compl. at 1. The district court dismissed, and Mr. DuBose appealed to this court.

We do not have jurisdiction over Mr. DuBose’s “appeal in a case brought in a district court under . . . [28 U.S.C. §] 1346(b),” which instead belongs in the appropriate re- gional circuit court of appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2). Un- der the circumstances, we conclude that transfer to the Third Circuit is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1631. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The motion to transfer is granted. The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Ap- peals for the Third Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
