P ER C URIAM

. O R D E R

The court has received no respon se to its December 28, 2023 order regarding whether these appeals should be dismissed or transfer red

. We now dismiss.
In the complaint underlying Appeal No. 2024

- 1 2 28, Kim Hyde Rhodes sought $500,000 in damages from, among others, United States agencies. Her other complaints g i v ing rise to these appeals sought relief in connection with domestic matters against state entities or individuals. The district court dismissed the cases. Ms

. Hyde Rhodes filed a notice of appeal for each case. The notices were then transmitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

, and Ms. Hyde Rhodes subsequently filed a second set of appeal s directed to this
court. *
These appeals do not fall within the limited authoritythat Congress granted this court to review decisions of federal district courts . That jurisdiction generally extends to

cases arising under the patent laws

, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the d istrict court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); and civil actions involving certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” 28 U.S.C. § 1346(a)(2), see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2);

* The Tenth Circuit dismissed the appeals for lack of prosecution and issued mandate on February 9, 2024. Case: 24-1224 Document: 12 Page: 4 Filed: 02/22/2024HYDE RHODES v. WILCOX 5

28 U. S.C. § 1292(c)(1). None of Ms. Hyde Rh o des’s cases fall s within that limited jurisdiction.
When this court lacks jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1631 provides that the court may, if it is in the interest of justice, transfer an appeal to the appropriate regional circuit that has jurisdiction. Here, however, the court finds that transfer would not be in the interest of justice because Ms. Hyde Rhodes’s identical appeals have already been before the Tenth Circuit and were dismissed.
Accordingly,

I T I S O RDERED T HAT : (1) The appeals are dismissed.
(2) Each side to bear its own costs.
