Petitioner.
Before
Lynch, Circuit Judge,
Selya, Senior Circuit Judge,
Lipez, Circuit Judge.
JUDGMENT
Entered: January 31, 2008
Federal district courts have jurisdiction over "all offenses
against the laws of the United states," 18 U.S.C. § 3231; United
States v. Mundt, 29 F.3d 233, 237 (6% Cir. 1994) (rejecting argument
that federal criminal jurisdiction extends only to the District of
Columbia, United States territorial possessions and ceded
territories), and the offenses with which petitioner is charged do
not require that the offense take place on property owned by the
federal government. As there is no merit to petitioner's
jurisdictional argumente or claim of improper venue, the petition
for writ of mandamus is denied.
By the Court:
Richard Cushing Donovan, Clerk.
Chief Deputy Clerk.
