2 JACKSON v. LONG

Ms. Jackson filed a complaint in the United States Dis- trict Court for the Western District of Kentucky asserting 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claims against state entities. On April 18, 2025, the district court dismissed some claims and allowed others to proceed. On June 9, 2025, the district court re- ceived an envelope labeled “appeal form,” with enclosures appearing to suggest Ms. Jackson wishes to appeal the dis- trict court’s April 18th order. The case otherwise remains pending before the district court. See Dkt. No. 26 (issued August 13, 2025, directing the parties to complete discov- ery by November 19, 2025).

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. Jack- son’s case falls outside of that review authority. While 28 U.S.C. § 1631 generally authorizes this court to transfer an appeal to another court where it could have been brought, transfer would not be appropriate here because no court of appeals would have jurisdiction since there has been no fi- nal appealable judgment entered in the case, see 28 U.S.C. § 1291; Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b).

Accordingly, Case: 25-1852 Document: 11 Page: 3 Filed: 09/30/2025
