Opinion

NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ In Re UCHECHI AMUNEKE-NZE, Petitioner ______________________ 2025-121 ______________________ On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the Department of Education. ______________________ ON PETITION ______________________ PER CURIAM.

ORDER Uchechi Amuneke-Nze petitions this court to issue a writ of mandamus directed to the United States Depart- ment of Education and Secretary of Education to “cease un- constitutional and ultra vires actions,” “[p]revent enforcement of legislative rules,” and make other findings relating to rulemaking. Pet. at 3–4. The petition also asks for expedited consideration. Id. at 3.

The All Writs Act provides that the federal courts “may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their re- spective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and prin- ciples of law.” 28 U.S.C.§ 1651(a). As that statute makes clear, however, the Act is not itself a grant of jurisdiction.

2 IN RE AMUNEKE-NZE

See Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). The submitted petition does not reference any specific agency or trial court action that could eventually be subject to this court’s jurisdiction on direct appeal such that we lack juris- diction to consider the mandamus request. See, e.g., 28 U.S.C. § 1295. We therefore dismiss the petition.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The petition is dismissed.
