                            FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT
                                      ____________
No. 22-5132                                                September Term, 2022

                                                      Filed On: July 19, 2023

Alan Headman,

              Appellant

       v.

Clayton R. Higgins, Jr.,

              Appellee

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

       BEFORE:       Millett and Pillard, Circuit Judges, and Sentelle, Senior Circuit
                     Judge

                                     JUDGMENT

        This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia and the brief filed by appellant. See Fed. R. App. P.
34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). Upon consideration of the foregoing, the motion for other
relief styled as a motion to affirm service and evidence of payment of appeal fee, and
the motion for other relief styled as a motion to affirm service, it is

        ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s April 26, 2022, order
dismissing appellant’s complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction be affirmed. The
district court correctly concluded that it lacked the authority to compel the Clerk of the
Supreme Court to take any particular action. See In re Marin, 956 F.2d 339, 340 (D.C.
Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (“We are aware of no authority for the proposition that a lower
court may compel the Clerk of the Supreme Court to take any action.”). It is

       FURTHER ORDERED that the motions for other relief 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        Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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
                 United States Court of Appeals
                            FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT

No. 22-5132                                                September Term, 2022

of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App.
P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.

                                                         FOR THE COURT:
