United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ JANE DOE, Plaintiff-Appellant v. UNITED STATES, Defendant-Appellee ______________________ 2025-1526 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Court of Federal Claims in No. 1:25-cv-00111-TMD, Judge Thompson M. Dietz. ______________________ ON MOTION ______________________ PER CURIAM.

filings and the order of the United States Court of Federal Claims sua sponte dismissing her complaint for lack of ju- risdiction, we determine that no further briefing would be helpful to the court’s consideration of the issues.
The Tucker Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1491, limits the jurisdic- tion of the Court of Federal Claims to claims for money damages against the United States based on sources of sub- stantive law that “can fairly be interpreted as mandating compensation by the Federal Government.” United States v. Navajo Nation, 556 U.S. 287, 290 (2009) (citation omit- ted). The Court of Federal Claims here determined that Ms. Doe’s sprawling complaint asserting claims against private individuals, government officials, and several states did not raise a claim within that limited jurisdiction.
See United States v. Sherwood, 312 U.S. 584, 588 (1941).
Ms. Doe’s brief and various filings raise no substantial ar- gument to challenge that determination. We therefore dis- miss the appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2).
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2). (2) All motions are denied. (3) Each party shall bear its own costs.
