Samuel Roy ABRAM, Appellant v. Steven T. MNUCHIN, Treasury Secretary, Appellee
JUDGMENT
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the brief and appendix 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 orders filed February 6, 2019, and February 28, 2019, be affirmed. Appellant has not demonstrated that the district court erred in dismissing as frivolous his claims under the Trading with the Enemy Act. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), 1915A(b)(1); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325, 109 S.Ct. 1827, 104 L.Ed.2d 338 (1989) (“[A] complaint ․ is frivolous where it lacks an arguable basis either in law or in fact.”). Nor has appellant 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) (per curiam).
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
