In Re ABRAHAM JOHNSON, Petitioner ______________________
2026-127 ______________________
Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in No. 1:25-cv-02289-UNA. ______________________
ON PETITION ______________________
PER CURIAM. ORDER Abraham Johnson petitions this court for a writ of re- plevin to “correct” the United States District Court for the District of Columbia’s purported “failure to act” on his pe- tition for a writ of habeas corpus, ECF No. 2 at 1, pending in that court since July 2025. 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. See Clinton v. Goldsmith, 526 U.S. 529, 534–35 (1999). This court is a court of limited subject matter jurisdiction, Case: 26-127 Document: 3 Page: 2 Filed: 02/13/2026

which does not include review of habeas actions. See 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Lacking jurisdiction, we may transfer to an appropriate court if it is in the interest of justice. See 28 U.S.C. § 1631. Under the circumstances, we deem it appro- priate to transfer this petition to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631, the petition and all transmittals are transferred to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
