2 GRASSHOPPER GARDENS, INC. v. PMA MECHANICAL LLC

States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, but the dis- trict court transmitted it to this court. This court’s jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district courts is generally limited to cases 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). The underlying case does not fall within any of those cate- gories. Moreover, Rule 3(d)(1) of the Federal Rules of Ap- pellate Procedure generally provides that a notice of appeal “must” be sent to “the clerk of the court of appeals named in the notice.” Because this court clearly lacks jurisdiction and pursuant to the mandatory language of Rule 3(d)(1), we transfer the appeal to the Second Circuit. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: This matter and all case filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. FOR THE COURT
