Civil Action No. 08 0108.
January 9, 2008
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on petitioner's pro se petition for a writ of mandamus and application to proceed in forma pauperis. The Court will grant the in forma pauperis application and will dismiss the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Petitioner is a prisoner confined at the Big Sandy United States Penitentiary in Inez, Kentucky. He seeks to compel a district judge of this Court to act, but in what way is unclear. In any event, this Court is not a reviewing court, see 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332 (general jurisdictional provisions); Fleming v. United States, 847 F. Supp. 170, 172 (D.D.C. 1994), and therefore lacks jurisdiction to entertain the petition. Accordingly, the case will be dismissed by separate Order issued contemporaneously.
