Petition for Review of a Decision of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Agency No. 15D-2026-00377 ____________________

Before BRANCH, GRANT, and LUCK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Jonathan K. Lewis, proceeding pro se, filed with us a petition for review of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commis- USCA11 Case: 26-11823 Document: 11-1 Date Filed: 08/21/2026 Page: 2 of 2

2 Opinion of the Court 26-11823 sion’s (“EEOC”) inaction as to his charge of employment discrimi- nation against a former employer. Lewis cannot invoke our review because Congress has not given us jurisdiction to review EEOC de- cisions or inaction. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1), (3) (providing that, after exhausting administrative remedies with the EEOC, com- plainants may file a civil action in a federal district court); City of Baton Rouge v. U.S. EPA, 620 F.2d 478, 480 (5th Cir. 1980) (explaining that federal courts of appeals’ jurisdiction to review agency orders in the first instance wholly depends on statutory authorization). The petition for review is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
