ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before LOGAN, MOORE and BALDOCK, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

Ms. Davis appeals from the district court's denial of her 

motion to set aside her conviction based on subject matter 

jurisdiction grounds. She advances a number of theories in her 

*This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except 

for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of the case, 

res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 36.3.

pro se brief concerning the validity of her conviction. However, 

the only issue before this court on a timely appeal is her claim 

that the district court did not have subject matter jurisdiction 

over her case. She argues the "United States does not have any 

jurisdiction to prosecute criminal cases, other than crimes that 

take place upon lands owned and controlled by the United States, 

which jurisdiction has been ceded to them by the state legislative 

body." 

We believe the district court was correct in denying as 

patently frivolous Ms. Davis' motion to vacate her conviction. 28 

U.S.C. § 1915(d). 

AFFIRMED.
