United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 15-7103 September Term, 2016

1:15-cv-00816-UNA

Filed On: October 19, 2016

Jose H. Calderon,

Appellant

v.

Eric Brown, Judge, et al.,

Appellees

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Brown and Pillard, Circuit Judges, and 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 appellant’s brief. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); D.C.

Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing and the motions to appoint

counsel, the motion to extend time to file petition, and the motion to stay and unseal, it

is

ORDERED that the motions to appoint counsel be denied. In civil cases,

appellants are not entitled to appointment of counsel when they have not demonstrated

any likelihood of success on the merits. It is

FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed

September 2, 2015, be affirmed. The district court did not abuse its discretion in

dismissing appellant’s case without prejudice after appellant failed to file the

submissions required under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. See Bristol Petroleum

Corp. v. Harris, 901 F.2d 165, 167 (D.C. Cir. 1990) (“When circumstances make such

action appropriate, a district court may dismiss an action on its own motion because of

a party’s failure to comply with court orders designed to ensure orderly prosecution of

the case.” (internal quotation marks and brackets omitted)). It is

FURTHER ORDERED that the motion to extend time and motion to stay and

unseal be dismissed as moot.
