Lena Marie Lindberg,

              Appellant

        v.

Stone Park Entertainment, doing business as
Score's Gentlemans Club, et al.,

              Appellees

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

        BEFORE:     Henderson, Walker, and Garcia, 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). Upon consideration of the foregoing, the motion for
preliminary injunction; the motion to consolidate, to proceed on appeal in forma
pauperis, to appoint counsel, and to expedite; the motion for other relief; the motions to
consolidate cases; the petition for writ of quo warranto and motion to intervene; and the
petition for writ of error coram nobis, it is

        ORDERED that the motion to proceed in forma pauperis be dismissed as moot.
It is

         FURTHER ORDERED that the remaining motions and the petitions be denied.
In civil cases, appellants are not entitled to appointment of counsel when they have not
demonstrated any likelihood of success on the merits, and appellant’s remaining
requests for relief are without merit. It is

       FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s May 4, 2023
order be affirmed. The district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing the
complaint without prejudice for failure to comply with the pleading standards of Federal
Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), which requires “a short and plain statement of the claim

showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a); Ciralsky v. CIA,
355 F.3d 661, 669–71 (D.C. Cir. 2004).

        Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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