PETITION TO APPEAL RETURNED.

ORDER

MICHEL, Circuit Judge.

1

Minidoka Irrigation District submits a "petition for permission to appeal" the January 27, 1993 order of the United States District Court for the District of Idaho transferring Minidoka's case to the Court of Federal Claims.

2

After reviewing Minidoka's petition, it is clear that the district court has not certified this order for immediate appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(b), (c)(1). Rather, this order is appealable as of right pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1292(d)(4)(B) (allowing a party to appeal an order granting or denying a motion to transfer to the Court of Federal Claims). Accordingly, if Minidoka wishes to appeal the transfer order, it must file a notice of appeal in the district in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.

3

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4

The Clerk is directed to return Minidoka's "petition for permission to appeal" to Minidoka.
