United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

____________

No. 20-7001 September Term, 2019

1:19-cv-03349-UNA

Filed On: April 15, 2020

Helga G. Suarez Clark,

Appellant

v.

Peru Republic,

Appellee

ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

BEFORE: Tatel and Millett, Circuit Judges, and Sentelle, 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 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

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 order filed

November 27, 2019 be affirmed. The district court correctly dismissed the case without

prejudice for failure to meet the minimum pleading standards of Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 8(a). Appellant’s complaint failed to set forth “a short and plain statement” of

the claims showing that she is entitled to relief. Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); see Ashcroft v.

Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 677-78 (2009).
