PER CURIAM.

ORDER

Dennis Donald Parker and Susan Tiller Parker filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Dis- trict of South Carolina over a mortgage dispute with pri- vate parties. After the assigned magistrate judge issued an order denying various relief and directing the Parkers to submit various forms, the Parkers petitioned this court for a writ of mandamus seeking equitable relief.

Case: 26-118 Document: 6 Page: 2 Filed: 01/21/2026 2 IN RE PARKER

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. See Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). Our jurisdiction to review decisions of the federal district courts extends only to patent cases, see 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1); civil actions on review to the district court from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, see id. § 1295(a)(4)(C); or certain damages claims against the United States “not exceeding $10,000 in amount,” id. § 1346(a)(2), see id. § 1295(a)(2). This case clearly falls out- side that jurisdiction, and therefore we dismiss.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT:

The petition is dismissed, and all pending motions are denied.
