DAVIS v. BURBANK POLICE DEPARTMENT 2
Following the district court’s judgment dismissing
Mr. Davis’s civil rights case, he filed a notice of appeal di-
rected to this court. But this court typically only has juris-
diction to review district court decisions in cases involving
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); and cases in-
volving certain damages claims against the United States
“not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id.
§ 1295(a)(2). Here, Mr. Davis’s civil rights action does not
fall within any of those categories such that we lack juris-
diction. Under the circumstances of this case, we conclude
that transfer of the appeal to the Ninth Circuit is appropri-
ate. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294, 1631.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
This appeal and all case filings are transferred to the
United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit pur-
suant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
