United States Ninth Circuit

In an action in which petition sought disclosure of his watchlist status, a meaningful opportunity to contest inclusion on any watchlist, and removal from all government watchlists, the matter is transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California for further proceedings, where: 1) this court lacks original jurisdiction over petitioner's claims because 49 U.S.C. section 46110 did not grant circuit courts jurisdiction to review Terrorist Screening Center orders, and therefore did not grant jurisdiction over claims seeking removal from the Database; and 2) although this court lacks original jurisdiction, these jurisdictional defects would not exist in a district court.
