 PER CURIAM.
                          ORDER
      Having considered any response to this court’s show
 cause order, we transfer the case to the United States Dis-
 trict Court for the Central District of California.
     Michelle Y. Anderson brings a “[c]ase[] of discrimina-
 tion subject to the provisions of [5 U.S.C. §] 7702,” 5 U.S.C.
 § 7703(b)(2), seeking review of the Merit Systems Protec-
 tion Board’s decision involving a claim of covered discrimi-
 nation. We lack jurisdiction over such a case, which must
 instead be brought in federal district court. Perry v. Merit

 Sys. Prot. Bd., 582 U.S. 420, 432 (2017). Under the circum-
 stances, we conclude pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 that
 transfer is appropriate to the Central District of California,
 where the employment action occurred.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
     The petition for review and all of the filings are trans-
 mitted to the United States District Court for the Central
 District of California pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
