Aror Ark O'Diah,

Appellant

v.

United States of America, et al.,

Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Tatel and Millett, Circuit Judges, and Ginsburg, Senior Judge

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 and appendix 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, filed July 29, 2015,

be affirmed. The district court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing appellant's

complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a), which

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 (2007) (internal

quotation marks omitted); see also Ciralsky v. CIA, 355 F.3d 661, 668 (D.C. Cir. 2004). 

The dismissal without prejudice allows appellant to file a new complaint that complies

with Rule 8(a).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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