United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 16-7061 September Term, 2015

1:16-cv-00687-UNA

Filed On: September 29, 2016

Donald White,

Appellant

v.

Timothy O'Reilly,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Brown and Kavanaugh, Circuit Judges; Ginsburg, Senior Circuit 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 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 April 12, 2016 order be

affirmed. The district court properly dismissed appellant's complaint without prejudice,

because the complaint failed to satisfy the minimal pleading requirements of Federal Rule

of Civil Procedure 8(a). See Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (Rule

8(a)(2) 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.") (internal quotation marks omitted). 

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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