Mousen Yisak Adem,

              Appellant

       v.

United States of America, et al.,

              Appellees

             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 and the motion for
miscellaneous relief, it is

         ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s February 10, 2023, order be
affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that appellant’s complaint, which lacked
an arguable basis either in law or in fact, was frivolous. See Neitzke v. Williams, 490
U.S. 319, 325 (1989); see also 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (providing that “the court
shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that . . . the action or appeal . .
. is frivolous or malicious”). It is

        FURTHER ORDERED that the motion for miscellaneous 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        Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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
of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P.
41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
