ORDER
Irina Collier submits a filing entitled “writ of manda-
mus and the notice of appeal.” ECF No. 2 at 1. 1 Ms. Collier
1 To the extent that Ms. Collier also intended to sub-
mit a complaint of judicial misconduct against justices of
the Supreme Court of the United States, this court lacks
jurisdiction to review such a complaint. See
28 U.S.C. § 351
(providing that a complaint may be filed against a circuit,
district, bankruptcy, or magistrate judge, but not including
Supreme Court justices under the definition of the term
“judge” covered by the Judicial Conduct and Disability
Act).

2 IN RE: COLLIER
has not responded to the court’s order of September 14,
2022, directing her to inform the court as to whether this
matter should remain under seal.
In May 2022, this court dismissed a prior appeal from
Ms. Collier for lack of jurisdiction and noted she had an
appeal pending before the United States Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit seeking review of the same decision.
Collier v. Univ. of Cal., Berkeley, No. 2022-1442,
2022 WL
1676223, at *1 (Fed. Cir. May 26, 2022). In June 2022, this
court also dismissed Ms. Collier’s petitions for issuance of
an emergency writ in connection with the same case. Col-
lier v. Univ. of Cal., Berkeley, No. 2022-1442 (Fed. Cir. June
29, 2022), ECF No. 18 at 2. It is unclear what relief Ms.
Collier is seeking in the current petition, but she has iden-
tified her Ninth Circuit appeal; “case 18FL000889,” which
appears to be a state court matter; and a motion docketed
as No. 21M88 that she filed at the Supreme Court. 2
“The All Writs Act is not an independent basis of juris-
diction, and the petitioner must initially show that the ac-
tion sought to be corrected by mandamus is within this
court’s statutorily defined subject matter jurisdiction.”
Baker Perkins, Inc. v. Werner & Pfleiderer Corp.,
710 F.2d
1561, 1565 (Fed. Cir. 1983). This court’s jurisdiction is lim-
ited and does not include jurisdiction to review the deci-
sions of other appellate courts, state courts, or the Supreme
Court. We therefore dismiss her petition. We also see no
basis for the docket of this matter to remain under seal.
Accordingly,
2 The Supreme Court granted Ms. Collier’s motion
for leave to file a petition for a writ of certiorari from an-
other Ninth Circuit appeal and ultimately denied her peti-
tion in May 2022.

sealed.
