2 OLLEY v. TURNER

Before PROST, CHEN, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. ORDER In this civil rights case, appellants respond to the court’s October 14, 2025 show cause order by moving to transfer the appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Appellants also note that they filed at the district court a timely, amended notice of appeal di- rected to the Fifth Circuit. This court’s jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district courts is generally limited to final decisions in pa- tent cases, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on re- view to the district court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); or cases involving certain damages claims against the United States “not ex- ceeding $10,000 in amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id. § 1295(a)(2). This case does not fall within any of those limited subject matter areas. Because appellants already have an appeal proceeding before the Fifth Circuit, Olley v. Todman, No. 25-20422 (5th Cir. Sept. 24, 2025), granting the motion to transfer is unnecessary. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion to transfer is denied. The appeal is dis- missed.
