PER CURIAM.

ORDER

Ricardo J. Calderon Lopez brought suit against the State of California Bar Association and Jackson Lewis LLP alleging, among other things, a conspiracy related to his inclusion on the Judicial Council of California’s Vexatious Litigant List. Dkt. No. 1 at 1–3. The United States District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and later denied Case: 25-1739 Document: 6 Page: 2 Filed: 08/11/2025 2 CALDERON LOPEZ v. STATE OF CALIFORNIA BAR ASSOCIATION his post-judgment motion. Mr. Calderon Lopez then filed a notice of appeal directed to this court.

As we have previously explained to Mr. Calderon Lopez,1 this court’s jurisdiction to review district court de- cisions is 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 id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id. § 1295(a)(2). This case plainly does not fall within that jurisdiction. We therefore transfer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit under 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

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.
