ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

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 order filed August 5, 2021, dismissing the case pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a) be affirmed.

The various arguments raised in appellant’s brief do not cast doubt on this conclusion.
