United States Court of Appeals
                             FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
                                      ____________
No. 23-7170                                                 September Term, 2023
                                                                        1:23-cv-03477-UNA
                                                       Filed On: April 8, 2024
Inez Qtaish,

               Appellant

       v.

Metro Lab,

               Appellee

             ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
                       FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

       BEFORE:       Henderson, Millett, and Walker, Circuit Judges

                                     JUDGMENT

        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 order entered November
30, 2023 be affirmed. The district court properly dismissed appellant’s case without
prejudice for failure to establish a basis for federal jurisdiction. 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.”). The district court correctly concluded that the
complaint established neither federal question nor diversity of citizenship jurisdiction,
and appellant has not asserted any basis for federal subject matter jurisdiction on
appeal. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1332.
