NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ In Re RAJ T. PATEL, Petitioner ______________________ 2026-129 ______________________ On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in No. 26S-OR-29. ______________________ ON PETITION AND MOTION ______________________ PER CURIAM.

ORDER Raj T. Patel petitions this court for a writ of either man- damus or habeas corpus to the Indiana Boone County Su- perior Court and moves for associated relief. While the All Writs Act provides that the federal courts “may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective ju- risdictions and agreeable to the usages and principles of law,” 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a), that statute makes clear, how- ever, the Act is not itself a grant of jurisdiction, see Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). This court’s limited subject matter includes neither habeas matters nor review of state court decisions. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295. We therefore dismiss and deny all motions.
