ORDER

Larry D. Muldrow appeals from the United States Dis- trict Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas’s dismissal of his complaint seeking at least $75,000 in damages for alleged injuries associated with bloodwork performed by Case: 25-1847 Document: 11 Page: 2 Filed: 09/30/2025 2 MULDROW v. US the Department of Veterans Affairs. In response to the court’s July 9, 2025 order to show cause, the United States urges dismissal or transfer of this appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Mr. Mul- drow opposes transfer or dismissal and moves for various relief.

This court’s jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district courts is generally limited to appeals arising under 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); or certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id. § 1295(a)(2). This appeal does not fall within that limited jurisdiction. Under the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to trans- fer to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294, 1631.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

This matter and all case motions and filings are trans- ferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
