__________________________
DECIDED: October 9, 2007

Before BRYSON, Circuit Judge, PLAGER, Senior Circuit Judge, and KEELEY, ∗ Chief
Judge.
PER CURIAM.
Stephen P. Wallace filed a complaint in the United States Court of Federal
Claims alleging, among other things, that proceedings in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Western District of Oklahoma resulted in the conversion of his assets. He
asserted that the bankruptcy trustees denied him “all federally protected rights under
Chapter 11-Reorganization.” After explaining that it had no jurisdiction to conduct a
collateral review of the decisions of another federal court, the Court of Federal Claims
∗
Honorable Irene M. Keeley, Chief Judge of the United States District Court
for the Northern District of West Virginia, sitting by designation.
dismissed Mr. Wallace’s complaint for lack of jurisdiction and for failure to state a claim
for which relief may be granted.
On appeal, Mr. Wallace contends that the “trial court refused to take into account
six separate filings which the trial court removed from the Record without explanation.”
However, Mr. Wallace provides no evidence that these pleadings were properly filed
with the trial court. Furthermore, the pleadings simply reiterate his challenges to
decisions made during his bankruptcy proceedings, which the Court of Federal Claims
lacks jurisdiction to review. See Allistiarte v. United States, 256 F.3d 1349, 1351 (Fed.
Cir. 2001). Therefore, even if these pleadings had been properly filed and considered
by the trial court, they do not raise issues that the Court of Federal Claims has authority
to address. Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s dismissal of Mr. Wallace’s complaint.
