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

-- 1 of 2 --

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.
