Appeal from the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia in No. 1:25-cv-02289-UNA.

ON PETITION
______________________
PER CURIAM.
O R D E R
Abraham Johnson petitions this court for a writ of re-
plevin to “correct” the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia’s purported “failure to act” on his pe-
tition for a writ of habeas corpus, ECF No. 2 at 1, pending
in that court since July 2025.
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).
This court is a court of limited subject matter jurisdiction,

which does not include review of habeas actions. See 28
U.S.C. § 1295. Lacking jurisdiction, we may transfer to an
appropriate court if it is in the interest of justice. See 28
U.S.C. § 1631. Under the circumstances, we deem it appro-
priate to transfer this petition to the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, the petition and all
transmittals are transferred to the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
