2 NWOSU v. BOLDUC

PER CURIAM.

ORDER Adaeze Nwosu filed this suit in the United States Dis- trict Court for the Central District of California, seeking $1 billion and alleging breach of contract, torts, and violations of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. After the district court dismissed the complaint and denied Ms. Nwosu’s motion to vacate the judgment, Ms. Nwosu filed an appeal directed to this court.1 On November 26, 2025, the court directed the parties to address this court’s juris- diction. None of the parties have filed a response.

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 any of those categories. We conclude that transfer to the United States Court of Ap- peals for the Ninth Circuit is appropriate under the circum- stances. Id. §§ 41, 1291, 1631.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) ECF No. 3 is denied.

1 Ms. Nwosu moves to consolidate this appeal with Appeal No. 2025-1977. The court dismissed that appeal for lack of jurisdiction, see Nwosu v. Bolduc, Appeal No. 2025- 1977, ECF No. 10 (Fed. Cir. Oct. 21, 2025), and thus denies the motion.

NWOSU v. BOLDUC 3

(2) This matter and all case filings are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
