Henry v. United States

In the United States Court of Federal Claims No. 22-1600 (Filed: December 1, 2022) ************************************* * CHARLES B. HENRY, * * Plaintiff, * * v. * * THE UNITED STATES, * * Defendant. * * *************************************

ORDER OF DISMISSAL

Plaintiff Charles B. Henry (“Plaintiff”), an Alaska state prisoner proceeding pro se, 1 filed a Complaint with this Court apparently seeking to submit an appeal to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rather than a cause of action within this court’s jurisdiction. See ECF No. 1 at 1.

Plaintiff’s intended appeal appears to be related to an incarceration stemming from sexual abuse of a minor in 1990. See ECF No. 1 at 2-5. The Court of Federal Claims does not have appellate jurisdiction over criminal convictions.

Therefore, the Complaint is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction. The Clerk of the Court is instructed to enter judgment accordingly.

Plaintiff also filed an application to proceed in forma pauperis. ECF No. 2. The Court GRANTS the Motion for the limited purpose of the jurisdictional inquiry. s/Mary Ellen Coster Williams MARY ELLEN COSTER WILLIAMS Senior Judge
