     Before LOURIE, PROST, and STOLL, Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
     Kenneth Antoine Chloe appeals from the judgment of
 the United States District Court for the District of Colum-
 bia arising out of a private-employment dispute. In re-
 sponse to this court’s December 6, 2023, order to show
Case: 24-1093     Document: 12      Page: 2     Filed: 02/05/2024

 2                                                CHLOE v. DENT

 cause, the appellee urges dismissal. Mr. Chloe urges that
 this court retain jurisdiction over the case.
      Our jurisdiction to review decisions of federal district
 courts extends only to cases arising under the patent laws,
 see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the dis-
 trict court from the United States Patent and Trademark
 Office, see § 1295(a)(4)(C); or 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);
 28 U.S.C. § 1292(c)(1). This case is outside of that limited
 subject matter jurisdiction. We may transfer to another
 court, if it is in the interest of justice, where “the action or
 appeal could have been brought at the time it was filed.”
 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Here, the court concludes that transfer
 to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
 Columbia Circuit is appropriate.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     The appeal and all its filings are transferred to the
 United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
 Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
