PER CURIAM.
O R D E R
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.

IN RE PARKER 2
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.
