Mary Jo Weidrick,

              Appellant

       v.

Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United
States and Commander in Chief of the United
States Military, et al.,

              Appellees

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

       BEFORE:       Wilkins and Jackson, 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). Upon consideration of the foregoing and the motion to
expedite, it is

       ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed September 23,
2021, be affirmed. The district court properly dismissed the complaint as frivolous. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (explaining
that a complaint is frivolous “where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact”). It
is

       FURTHER ORDERED that the motion to expedite be dismissed as moot.
