Johnson v. Johnson
Johnson v. Johnson
Opinion of the Court
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 order filed April 30, 2008 be affirmed. The lower courts lack supervisory authority over Supreme Court clerks, see Marin v. Suter, 956 F.2d 339, 340 (D.C.Cir. 1992) (per curiam), and these clerks enjoy absolute immunity from damages claims such as appellant’s. See Sindram v. Suda, 986 F.2d 1459, 1460-61 (D.C.Cir. 1993) (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Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
