2 Opinion of the Court 26-11823

sion’s (“EEOC”) inaction as to his charge of employment discrimination against a former employer. Lewis cannot invoke our review because Congress has not given us jurisdiction to review EEOC decisions or inaction. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1), (3) (providing that, after exhausting administrative remedies with the EEOC, complainants may file a civil action in a federal district court); City of Baton Rouge v. U.S. EPA, 620 F.2d 478, 480 (5th Cir. 1980) (explaining that federal courts of appeals’ jurisdiction to review agency orders in the first instance wholly depends on statutory authorization).

The petition for review is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
