2 MASCORRO v. CITY OF SAN DIEGO

Our jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district courts generally extends only to cases arising under the pa- tent 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); or cases involving certain damages claims against the United States “not ex- ceeding $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 out- side 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 con- cludes it appropriate to transfer to the Ninth Circuit. 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pur- suant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
