   United States Court of Appeals
       for the Federal Circuit
                   ______________________

               In re: EARL LANGHAM, JR.,
                          Petitioner
                   ______________________

                          2021-185
                   ______________________

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the United States
District Court for the Western District of Texas.
                  ______________________

               ON PETITION AND MOTION
                  ______________________

PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
    Earl Langham, Jr. has filed a submission at this court
seeking a “writ of habeas corpus,” “writ of mandamus,” and
“writ of quo warranto,” demanding that Rodney Rodell-
Reed be “free and clear of any wrong doing.”
    The Federal Circuit is a court of appeals that does not
have original or appellate jurisdiction over writs of habeas
corpus or criminal matters. See 28 U.S.C § 1295. Because
this court does not have jurisdiction to issue a writ of ha-
beas corpus, and because issuing a writ of mandamus here
would not be in “aid our of [our] jurisdiction[],” 28 U.S.C.
§ 1651(a), we dismiss this petition.
    Accordingly,
Case: 21-185      Document: 11    Page: 2   Filed: 11/16/2021

2                                            IN RE: LANGHAM

      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      (1) The petition is dismissed.
      (2) All pending motions are denied.
                                  FOR THE COURT
