Joanne Edmonds Fletcher JACKSON, Appellant v. UNITED STATES of America, et al., Appellees
    No. 17-5033
    United States Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit.
    July 31, 2017
    Joanne Edmonds Fletcher Jackson, Washington, DC, pro se.
    R. Craig Lawrence, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Washington, DC, for Appellees.
    
      BEFORE: Rogers and Griffith, Circuit Judges, and Ginsburg, Senior Circuit Judge
   JUDGMENT

Per Curiam

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on appellant’s brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34®. It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the court’s order filed January 11, 2017, be affirmed. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) requires “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief, in order to give the defendant fair notice of what the ... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests.” Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007) (internal quotation marks omitted). The district court correctly determined that appellant failed to give the United States adequate notice of her claim and that appellant did not provide any other basis for federal court jurisdiction.

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
