v.
Judges Act of 1925, also known as 43 Stat.
936,
Appellee
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
BEFORE: Rao and Walker, 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 March 31, 2022 order
dismissing the case and April 26, 2022 order denying reconsideration be affirmed. The
district court properly dismissed appellant’s case as frivolous. See 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (“[A] complaint . . . is
frivolous where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact.”). Moreover, appellant
has not shown any abuse of discretion in the district court’s denial of reconsideration.
See Firestone v. Firestone, 76 F.3d 1205, 1208 (D.C. Cir. 1996).
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
