United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 24-5079 September Term, 2023

1:23-cv-03632-ACR

Filed On: August 2, 2024

Xiu Jian Sun, Servant , The Church of Jesus

Christ of Latter-Day Saints,

Appellant

v.

Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of U.S.A.,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Katsas, Rao, and Childs, Circuit Judges

J U D G M E N T

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court

for the District of Columbia and on the brief filed by appellant. See Fed. R. App. P.

34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order entered March 8,

2024, be affirmed. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the

complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with the pleading standards of Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a). See Ciralsky v. CIA, 355 F.3d 661, 669-71 (D.C. Cir.

2004). That rule requires “a short and plain statement of the grounds for the court’s

jurisdiction” and “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is

entitled to relief,” see Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a), but appellant’s complaint states no

discernible claim or basis for 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Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
