Federal Circuit disposition — 25-121

NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.
United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit

In Re UCHECHI AMUNEKE-NZE,
Petitioner
______________________
2025-121
______________________
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus to the Department
of Education.
______________________
ON PETITION
______________________
PER C URIAM.
O R D E R
Uchechi Amuneke-Nze petitions this court to issue a
writ of mandamus directed to the United States Depart-
ment of Education and Secretary of Education to “cease un-
constitutional and ultra vires actions,” “[p]revent
enforcement of legislative rules,” and make other findings
relating to rulemaking. Pet. at 3–4. The petition also asks
for expedited consideration. Id. at 3.
The All Writs Act provides that the federal courts “may
issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their re-
spective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and prin-
ciples of law.” 28 U.S.C.§ 1651(a). As that statute makes
clear, however, the Act is not itself a grant of jurisdiction.

IN RE AMUNEKE- NZE 2
See Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). The
submitted petition does not reference any specific agency
or trial court action that could eventually be subject to this
court’s jurisdiction on direct appeal such that we lack juris-
diction to consider the mandamus request. See, e.g., 28
U.S.C. § 1295. We therefore dismiss the petition.
Accordingly,
IT IS O RDERED THAT:
The petition is dismissed.
