HENRY W. WOOTEN, Petitioner-Appellant, v. RICK THALER, DIRECTOR, TDCJ-CID, Respondent-Appellee. __________________________

2013-1652 __________________________

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas in No. 13-CV-0255, Judge Michael H. Schneider. __________________________

PER CURIAM. ORDER The court considers whether this appeal should be transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Henry W. Wooten appeals from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, which denied his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and dismissed his case. This court is a court of limited jurisdiction, which does not appear to include jurisdiction in this matter. 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Case: 13-1652 Document: 7 Page: 2 Filed: 10/30/2013
