Ryskamp v. Commissioner of Internal Rev
Opinion
ORDER
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue moves to dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. John Ryskamp responds.
Ryskamp appeals from an order of the United States Tax Court granting the government’s motion for summary judgment and allowing it to collect Ryskamp’s federal income tax liability. * A second notice of appeal was docketed with the United *1003 States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
This court does not have jurisdiction to review decisions of the United States Tax Court. 26 U.S.C. § 7482(a)(1) (“The United States Courts of Appeals (other than the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) shall have exclusive jurisdiction to review the decisions of the Tax Court ... ”). Because the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has already received and docketed this matter, dismissal of this appeal before this court is appropriate, rather than transfer.
Accordingly,
It Is Ordered That:
(1) The motion is granted. The appeal is dismissed.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
Ryskamp’s petition for writ of mandamus regarding the United States Tax Court case was recently dismissed by this court for lack of jurisdiction. See In re Ryskamp, No.2014-112 (Fed.Cir. Mar. 27, 2014).
