TRACY NIXON, Plaintiff-Appellant v. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, Defendant-Appellee


This order is nonprecedential.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in No. 2:19-cv-00287-JRG-RSP, Chief Judge J. Rodney Gilstrap.

ON MOTION

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Tracy Nixon appeals from the district court's dismissal of his complaint and moves for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. In a prior attempt to appeal from this suit, we explained that Mr. Nixon's complaint failed "to present a non-frivolous claim arising under the patent laws" and that his case was "outside of our limited jurisdiction." Nixon v. Gen. Motors Corp., No. 2021-1120, slip. op. at 2 (Fed. Cir. 1 Jan. 21, 2021) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). Nothing has changed that would warrant a different conclusion here. We therefore transfer this appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631 to the appropriate regional circuit, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, this appeal and all transmittals are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. 2
