Question presented
Whether, when a pro se petitioner timely seeks judicial review of final federal administrative action in a court of appeals that lacks direct-review jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1631 requires the court to consider transfer to a federal district court in which an Administrative Procedure Act action could have been brought, rather than limiting the transfer inquiry to other courts of appeals.
