OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals the district court's order finding that his claims were barred by res judicata and collateral estoppel.  It appears that a decision in Wrenn v. Shalala.   No. 94-5198 (D.C.Cir. Mar. 8, 1995) (unpublished), may have destroyed the finality of a previous order, rendering the bar of res judicata inapplicable.  We therefore vacate the decision of the district court.  The case is remanded with instructions that the case be transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.  We grant the motion to file a supplemental pleading.  We dispense with oral argument because our review of the record and other materials reveals that it would not aid the decisional process.

VACATED AND REMANDED
