     Appeal from the Environmental Protection Agency in
 No. AX-22-000-5703.
                 ______________________

                      ON MOTION
                  ______________________

       Before DYK, REYNA, and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
     Susan Shultz moves for leave to proceed in forma pau-
 peris (ECF Nos. 3 and 8) and for “immediate relief” (ECF
 Nos. 9 and 10). The Environmental Protection Agency
 (“EPA”) submits a “stipulated dismissal” (ECF No. 13), but
 in response to this court’s January 30, 2023, order, Ms.
 Shultz, without addressing the stipulation, urges us to
Case: 23-1285    Document: 18      Page: 2   Filed: 03/02/2023

 2                                             SHULTZ   v. EPA

 retain jurisdiction over her case and submits a “writ of as-
 sistance” (ECF No. 17).
     Ms. Shultz’s appeal from a letter of the EPA in re-
 sponse to her request for a site assessment does not fall
 within the limited jurisdiction that Congress granted to
 this court under 28 U.S.C. § 1295 or otherwise. While 28
 U.S.C. § 1631 authorizes this court to transfer a case, we
 are not convinced that the requirements under that provi-
 sion have been met here.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     (1) This case is dismissed.
     (2) All pending motions are denied as moot.
