ORDER In October 2024, this court transferred Lance McDer- mott’s mixed case to federal district court because this court lacks jurisdiction over such cases. See Appeal No. 2024-1981, ECF No. 13. The district court has since dis- missed, and Mr. McDermott has an appeal pending before Case: 25-1574 Document: 24 Page: 2 Filed: 09/12/2025

2 MCDERMOTT v. MSPB

the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Cir- cuit. Mr. McDermott has now filed a second, duplicative appeal with this court. Because we lack jurisdiction and see no reason to transfer, we grant the Merit Systems Pro- tection Board’s motion to dismiss.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion is granted. This matter is dismissed. (2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
