ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Henderson and Katsas, Circuit Judges, Sentelle, Senior Circuit 

Judge

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 September 19, 2019 order

dismissing the case be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that the

complaint failed to set out “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the

pleader is entitled to relief,” as required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 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Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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
