Petitioner

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.
O R D E R
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.
