SYLVESTER THOMAS, Petitioner-Appellant, v. DEBORAH MCCULLOCH, DIRECTOR, SAND RIDGE SECURE TREATMENT CENTER, Respondent-Appellee.

PER CURIAM

NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin in case no. 12-CV-0143, Senior Judge Barbara B. Crabb.

ON MOTION

Before LINN, DYK, and WALLACH, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.

ORDER

In light of Sylvester Thomas's response to this court's show cause order, we consider whether this appeal and the motion to proceed in forma pauperis should be trans- ferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Thomas appeals from a decision of the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin dismissing his petition for writ of habeus corpus. This is a court of limited jurisdiction. 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Because this case does not fall within our jurisdiction, the court will transfer the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

This appeal and the pending motion will be transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631.

FOR THE COURT
