Abraham Portnov, Appellant v. United States Department of Justice, et al., Appellees
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
BEFORE: Millett and Wilkins, Circuit Judges, and Sentelle, Senior Circuit Judge
JUDGMENT
PER CURIAM
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the brief filed by appellant. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). It is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's June 29, 2020 order dismissing appellant's complaint without prejudice for lack of jurisdiction be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to review decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1254 (appellate review of decisions of the courts of appeals is taken in the U.S. Supreme Court); 42 U.S.C. § 300aa-12(f) (appellate review of decisions of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims is taken in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit). Insofar as appellant asserts that he did not seek review of such decisions in the district court, that assertion is inconsistent with the text of his complaint, which focused on recounting alleged flaws in proceedings before those courts.
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
