Appellant

v.

Donald J. Trump,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Katsas, Pan, and Garcia, 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 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

expedite, it is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s dismissal of this case be

affirmed. Appellant lacks standing to challenge Donald Trump’s eligibility to hold future

office. See Lance v. Coffman, 549 U.S. 437, 439–42 (2007) (per curiam); Laity v.

Harris, No. 20-7109, 2021 WL 2350003, at *1 (D.C. Cir. Feb. 5, 2021) (per curiam)

(holding that plaintiff did “not possess standing to challenge Vice President Harris’s

eligibility to hold office”). It is

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

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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