No. 22-5078                                                September Term, 2021

Samantha D. Rajapakse, The Rights of Pro
Se in a Civil Matter,

              Appellant

       v.

United States and Merrick B. Garland, United
States Attorney General,

              Appellees

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

       BEFORE:       Wilkins and Katsas, 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 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 filed on March 8,
2022, be affirmed. Appellant has raised no arguments in her brief challenging the
district court’s dismissal of her complaint on the grounds that her claims were barred by
sovereign immunity or were frivolous, and she has thus forfeited any such argument.
See United States ex rel. Totten v. Bombardier Corp., 380 F.3d 488, 497 (D.C. Cir.
2004) (arguments not raised on appeal are forfeited).

        Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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

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