Ramin Ghayoori,

Appellant

v.

Sultanate of Oman,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Wilkins, 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). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s August 6, 2024 order

dismissing appellant’s complaint for lack of jurisdiction be affirmed. The district court

correctly concluded that appellant failed to plead facts in his complaint that would

support the application of any exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. See

28 U.S.C. §§ 1605, 1605A. Appellant has not shown that the district court’s sua sponte

dismissal of his complaint for lack of jurisdiction prior to service of process on appellee

was improper. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(h)(3) (“If the court determines at any time that it

lacks subject-matter jurisdiction, the court must dismiss the action.”).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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