United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 24-7105 September Term, 2024

1:24-cv-01396-UNA

Filed On: November 12, 2024

May Chen,

Appellant

v.

District of Columbia, et al.,

Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Henderson, Pillard, and Walker, 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 and appendix filed by appellant. See Fed.

R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing and the

motion to consolidate, it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s May 28, 2024 order be

affirmed on the ground that appellant’s complaint did not meet the minimum pleading

requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); see

also Chambers v. Burwell, 824 F.3d 141, 143 (D.C. Cir. 2017) (“[W]e may affirm the

district court on any ground supported by the record.”). Appellant’s complaint did not

set forth “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to

relief,” which is required 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) (alteration in original). It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the motion to consolidate be dismissed as moot.
