NOTE: This order is nonprecedential. United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit
ROSALYN E. MORENO,
Plaintiff-Appellant
v.
CHRISTINE E. NIZER, SHAFIQ RAHMAN,
NATALIE E. HARRIS, KATIE O. SAVAGE,
Defendants-Appellees
2026-1995
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Colorado in No. 1:26-cv-01799-LTB-RTG, Senior Judge Lewis T. Babcock.
Before CHEN, LINN, and CUNNINGHAM, Circuit Judges.
O R D E R
The United States District Court for the District of Colorado dismissed Rosalyn E. Moreno’s complaint against Maryland state officials and employees, asserting state claims and violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the Privacy Act, and the False Claims Act. She appealed to both this court and the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Following a show cause order, we dismiss.
22 MORENO v. NIZER
This court’s jurisdiction over appeals from district courts is generally limited to appeals arising under the patent laws, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the district court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); and cases involving certain damages claims against the United States not exceeding $10,000 in amount, id. §§ 1295(a)(2), 1346(a)(2). This appeal falls outside that limited review authority. While we have authority to transfer to the court of appeals of proper jurisdiction, here the Tenth Circuit, it would not be in the interest of justice to do so here at least because her appeal to the Tenth Circuit from the same underlying case was already dismissed, Moreno v. Nizer, No. 2026-1241, ECF No. 5 (10th Cir. Sept. 3, 2026).
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The appeal is dismissed.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
