OPINION

___________

PER CURIAM

On May 24, 2007, Boyd filed a document titled “Petition for Notice of

Appeal from the Order of the Supreme Court of the United States Office of the Clerk” in

the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In an order

Case: 07-2930 Document: 00312009963 Page: 1 Date Filed: 08/11/2008
entered that same day, the District Court denied Boyd’s petition for notice of appeal. The

District Court based its denial, in part, on Boyd’s failure to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 3

and, in part, for lack of jurisdiction because it sought review of the United States Supreme

Court’s processing and denial of her writ of prohibition. Boyd appeals and has filed a

motion to supplement the record. We will affirm. 

District courts do not have jurisdiction to review decisions by the United States

Supreme Court. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1330-1369. Accordingly, the District Court properly

dismissed Boyd’s petition for notice of appeal for lack of jurisdiction and we will affirm

its judgment. Boyd’s motion to supplement the record is denied. We note that there is

nothing in the motion that can cure the jurisdictional defect.
