In re Francis, No. 22-151 (Fed. Cir. June 28, 2022)

PER CURIAM.

O R D E R

Addisa Jahrusalem Francis petitions this court for “a writ of control to compel mandate in accordance with the judgment” of this court in Francis v. United States, Appeal No. 2022-1188. She also submits motions for “entry of default judgment” and an “order of supersedeas bond.”

Ms. Francis filed a complaint at the United States Court of Federal Claims primarily challenging her and her husband’s prior criminal conviction. The court dismissed the complaint for lack of jurisdiction and certified that an appeal would not be taken in good faith. On appeal, we

22 IN RE: FRANCIS

dismissed after concluding that Ms. Francis had failed to raise any non-frivolous challenge to the judgment of the Court of Federal Claims. This court subsequently denied her petition for en banc review and issued a mandate.

To the extent that Ms. Francis is seeking a writ of mandamus, such relief is appropriate only when the petitioner has demonstrated clear entitlement to the relief requested and no alternative means to obtain such relief. See Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. of D.C., 542 U.S. 367, 380–81 (2004). Ms. Francis’s petition states that she seeks “release[] of Henry Francis [Ms. Francis’s husband] from United States Maximum Security [Penitentiary] and petitioner Addisa Jahrusalem Francis . . . held by Supervised Release.” Pet. at 13. This court has already explained to Ms. Francis why the Court of Federal Claims lacked jurisdiction to grant such request. Under these circumstances, we must conclude that Ms. Francis is not entitled to the relief she seeks. Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The petition is denied. (2) All pending motions are denied.
