             Appellees

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

      BEFORE:       Walker and Childs, 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 on the brief filed by the appellant, which the court
construes as including a request for initial hearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P.
34(a)(2); D.C. Cir. Rule 34(j). It is

      ORDERED that the request for initial hearing en banc be denied. See Fed. R.
App. P. 35(a). It is

      FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed
September 22, 2022 be affirmed. Appellant has not shown that she served any of the
defendants and has not shown good cause for failing to do so. See Morrissey v.
Mayorkas, 17 F.4th 1150, 1157-58 (D.C. Cir. 2021). Accordingly, the district court did
not abuse its discretion in dismissing appellant’s case. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m).
