In re: EARL LANGHAM, JR., Petitioner
This order is nonprecedential.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas.
ON PETITION AND MOTION
PER CURIAM.
ORDER
Earl Langham, Jr. has filed a submission at this court seeking a "writ of habeas corpus," "writ of mandamus," and "writ of quo warranto," demanding that Rodney Rodell-Reed be "free and clear of any wrong doing."
The Federal Circuit is a court of appeals that does not have original or appellate jurisdiction over writs of habeas corpus or criminal matters. See 28 U.S.C § 1295. Because this court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of habeas corpus, and because issuing a writ of mandamus here would not be in "aid our of [our] jurisdiction[]," 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), we dismiss this petition.
Accordingly, 1
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The petition is dismissed.
(2) All pending motions are denied. 2
