     Before CHEN, LINN, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER

 Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Case: 24-1397    Document: 12      Page: 2    Filed: 05/03/2024

 2                                               DUBOSE v. US

     Mr. DuBose brought suit against the United States in
 the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
 Pennsylvania, seeking $100,000,000 “pursuant to the Fed-
 eral Tort Claims Act 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b).” Compl. at 1. The
 district court dismissed, and Mr. DuBose appealed to this
 court.
     We do not have jurisdiction over Mr. DuBose’s “appeal
 in a case brought in a district court under . . . [28 U.S.C.
 §] 1346(b),” which instead belongs in the appropriate re-
 gional circuit court of appeals. 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(2). Un-
 der the circumstances, we conclude that transfer to the
 Third Circuit is appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1631. See
 28 U.S.C. §§ 41, 1291, 1294.
     Accordingly,
     IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      The motion to transfer is granted. The appeal and all
 its filings are transferred to the United States Court of Ap-
 peals for the Third Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
