United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 15-7159 September Term, 2015

1:14-cv-01952-BAH

Filed On: September 8, 2016

John Alridge,

Appellant

v.

Rite Aid Corporation, Rite Aid of Washington,

D.C., Inc.,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Henderson and Pillard, 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 briefs filed by the parties. See Fed. R. App. P.

34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing, and the motion to

appoint counsel, it is

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

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

sufficient likelihood of success on the merits. It is

FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s November 30,

2015 order dismissing appellant’s case be affirmed. Appellant’s opening brief contains

no relevant legal arguments, and he has therefore forfeited any possible arguments. 

See United States ex rel. Totten v. Bombardier Corp., 380 F.3d 488, 497 (D.C. Cir.

2004) (“Ordinarily, arguments that parties do not make on appeal are deemed to have

been waived.”). The court does not consider arguments raised only in a reply brief.
