United States Court of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT ____________ No. 24-5028 September Term, 2023 1:23-cv-03540-UNA Filed On: June 5, 2024 Fernando Fontanez, Appellant v. Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President and Janet L.

Yellen, U.S. Treasury Secretary, Appellees ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BEFORE: Wilkins, Childs, and Pan, Circuit Judges 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). Upon consideration of the foregoing and the motion to appoint counsel, it is ORDERED that the motion to appoint counsel be denied. In civil cases, appellants are not entitled to appointment of counsel when they have not demonstrated sufficient likelihood of success on the merits. It is FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed January 12, 2024 be affirmed. The district court correctly determined that appellant lacked standing to pursue the relief sought. See Lujan v. Defs. of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 573-74 (1992) (“[A] plaintiff raising only a generally available grievance about government . . . does not state an Article III case or controversy.”). Although appellant contends that he has not raised a generally available grievance, he acknowledges that he “seeks relief for everyone in the country and world.”
