United States Court of Appeals FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT ____________ No. 25-7016 September Term, 2024 1:24-cv-02881-UNA Filed On: June 4, 2025 Patrick Christian, Appellant v. State of North Carolina and Josh Stein, Governor, North Carolina, Appellees ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA BEFORE: Pillard, Katsas, and Rao, 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). It is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order entered January 3, 2025, be affirmed. The district court concluded that appellant’s claims were barred by Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), because appellant had not shown that his conviction had been invalidated in a prior proceeding. On appeal, appellant does not argue that he has in fact satisfied that requirement, nor has he shown that the requirement is inapplicable here.

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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.
