BEFORE: Henderson, Srinivasan, and Millett, Circuit Judges Mary Jo Weidrick, Pro Se R. Craig Lawrence, U.S. Attorney's Office, (USA) Civil Division, Washington, DC, for Defendant - Appellee

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 the 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 July 19, 2018 order dismissing appellant’s case without prejudice be affirmed. The district court correctly dismissed appellant’s complaint for failure to meet the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) and for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) (requiring a complaint to contain “a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief”); Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 677-78, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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