Hurt v. United States Supreme Court
Hurt v. United States Supreme Court
Opinion of the Court
JUDGMENT
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed August 31, 2006, be affirmed. Dismissal with prejudice is justified when a district court determines that “ ‘allegation of other facts consistent with the challenged pleading could not possibly cure the deficiency.’” Firestone v. Firestone, 76 F.3d 1205, 1209 (D.C.Cir. 1996) (quoting Jarrell v. United States Postal Serv., 753 F.2d 1088, 1091 (D.C.Cir. 1985) (other quotations omitted)). The district court correctly dismissed with prejudice appellant’s action against the United States Supreme Court. See In re Marin, 956 F.2d 339, 340 (D.C.Cir.) (per curiam) (denying mandamus petition against Clerk of Supreme Court for lack of jurisdiction), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 844, 113 S.Ct. 131, 121 L.Ed.2d 85 (1992); Panko v. Rodak, 606 F.2d 168, 171 n. 6 (7th Cir. 1979) (“[I]t seems axiomatic that a lower court may not order the judges or officers of a higher court to take an action.”), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 1081, 100 S.Ct. 1034, 62 L.Ed.2d 765 (1980).
Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
