United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 13-5356 September Term, 2014

1:13-cv-01153-UNA

Filed On: December 1, 2014

Johnathan Johnson,

Appellant

v.

Andrew Downs and William K. Suter, Clerk,

Appellees

BEFORE: Brown and Kavanaugh, Circuit Judges, and Ginsburg, Senior

Circuit Judge

O R D E R

Upon consideration of the petition for rehearing, it is

ORDERED that the petition be denied. Substitution of the United States as

defendant would be futile. The United States would be entitled to assert the defense of

judicial immunity, because that defense is available to the individual Supreme Court

employees whose alleged acts or omissions gave rise to appellant’s claims. See 28

U.S.C. § 2674.

Per Curiam
