United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________
In re: EARL LANGHAM, JR., Petitioner ______________________
2021-185 ______________________
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 ha- beas 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, Case: 21-185 Document: 11 Page: 2 Filed: 11/16/2021
