PER CURIAM:

Brent Creekmore petitions for review of a decision of the Federal Motor Carrier

Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) denying his request for correction pursuant to the

Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, and 49 C.F.R. § 10.41 (2024). The Privacy Act

provides that Creekmore must challenge the FMCSA’s decision in an appropriate district

court. 5 U.S.C. § 552a(g)(1)(A); see 49 C.F.R. § 10.51(b) (2024). We thus conclude that

we lack jurisdiction over Creekmore’s petition and dismiss it. * We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DISMISSED

* Although the FMCSA contends on appeal that Creekmore has not exhausted his administrative remedies because he failed to seek reconsideration of the FMCSA’s decision, we do not reach that issue. We also decline to transfer Creekmore’s petition for review to an appropriate district court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631.
