Wells v. U.S. Court of Appeals

Wells v. U.S. Court of Appeals The Federal Circuit dismissed Mr. Wells's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The district court case does not appear to fall within the court's limited subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1295, and the court cannot review decisions of other circuit courts of appeals under 28 U.S.C. § 1254. A routine jurisdictional dismissal with no patent issue; it only reaffirms that the Federal Circuit cannot hear appeals from cases outside § 1295 or review other regional circuits' decisions. Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Danny M. Wells appealed from the District of North Dakota, which dismissed his case for failure to raise any comprehensible claim; the Eighth Circuit summarily affirmed that dismissal. After the court's August 27, 2026 show-cause order, the court construed Mr. Wells's filing as his response. Held: the district court case does not appear to fall within the court's limited subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1295. Held: the court has no jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1254 to review decisions of other circuit courts of appeals, and Mr. Wells identified no other basis for jurisdiction. Each party bears its own costs. standing / jurisdiction non-precedential standing / jurisdiction non-precedential standing / jurisdiction
