ORDER Huong Thi Nguyen appeals from the United States Dis- trict Court for the Western District of Washington’s Case: 25-1782 Document: 18 Page: 2 Filed: 08/11/2025

2 NGUYEN v. CORP. OF CATHOLIC ARCHBISHOP

dismissal of her complaint seeking state worker’s compen- sation benefits. Having considered Ms. Nguyen’s and the Corporation of Catholic Archbishop’s responses to the court’s order directing the parties to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed or transferred, we now dis- miss. This court’s jurisdiction over appeals from federal dis- trict courts is generally limited to review of patent cases, 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 id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages claims against the United States not exceeding $ 10,000 in amount, id. §§ 1295(a)(2), 1346(a)(2). Ms. Ngu- yen’s case does not involve a patent, a patent application, or a claim against the United States, so we do not have au- thority to hear her appeal. Since Ms. Nguyen already had an appeal from the same district court decision docketed before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, we conclude that transfer of this appeal to that court is unnecessary. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) All pending motions are denied. (3) Each party shall bear its own costs.
