ORDER

Paul Anthony Aquino filed a complaint seeking $100,000,000 for violations of his civil rights. The district court denied Mr. Aquino’s in forma pauperis (IFP) motion and dismissed the case with prejudice. Dkt. No. 5. Mr. Aquino filed a notice of appeal directed to this court. In view of the subject matter of the underlying case, this court Case: 24-1973 Document: 4 Page: 2 Filed: 02/27/2025 2 AQUINO v. MP 21 SOLEDAD ST LP directed the parties to show cause why this court has juris- diction over the appeal. Neither party has responded.

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 is outside of that limited subject matter jurisdic- tion. We may transfer to another court, if it is in the inter- est 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 it appropriate to transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

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.
