United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 24-5090 September Term, 2023

1:24-cv-00650-UNA

Filed On: August 2, 2024

Matthew Jones,

Appellant

v.

Judicial Branch of United States Government,

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 27,

2024, be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that appellant’s complaint was

frivolous because it lacked an arguable basis either in law or in fact. See Neitzke v.

Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (providing

that “the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that . . . the

action or appeal . . . is frivolous or malicious”).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
