PER CURIAM.
                       ORDER
    Michael Otto Hartmann submits a petition for a writ
of mandamus, attempting to invoke this court’s “original
jurisdiction” to assert various claims, including contract
and federal securities claims.
    The All Writs Act provides that the federal courts
“may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of
their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages
and principles of law.” 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a). The Act is
not itself a grant of jurisdiction. Clinton v. Goldsmith,
526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). This court does not have
original jurisdiction over Mr. Hartmann’s claims. Nor
does his submission reference any agency or trial court

action that would eventually be subject to this court’s
jurisdiction on direct appeal that would give us authority
to consider a mandamus request. We therefore dismiss
his petition.
      Accordingly,
      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      The petition is dismissed.
