ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

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). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed June 15, 2016,

be affirmed. The district court properly dismissed appellant’s complaint for failure to

comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), which 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.” Bell

Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007) (internal quotation marks omitted);

see also Ciralsky v. CIA, 355 F.3d 661, 668-69 (D.C. Cir. 2004). 

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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