Appellant v.

Scott Harris, Clerk of the U.S. Supreme

Court, sued in his official capacity,

Appellee

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

BEFORE: Millett, Wilkins, and Katsas, 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, the motion to dispense with the appendix, the motion for a criminal contempt order, and the motion for judicial notice, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dispense with the appendix be granted. It is FURTHER ORDERED that the motions for a criminal contempt order and for judicial notice be denied. Appellant has not shown an entitlement to the relief requested in either of those motions. It is

FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court’s order filed on February 11, 2026, dismissing appellant’s complaint, be affirmed. The district court correctly concluded that it lacked jurisdiction to enter the relief requested by appellant against the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court. See, e.g., In re Marin, 956 F.2d United States Court of Appeals

FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT ____________

No. 26-5084 September Term, 2025 339, 340 (D.C. Cir. 1992) (per curiam) (affirming dismissal for lack of jurisdiction of complaint seeking mandamus and declaratory relief directing Supreme Court Clerk to accept filings).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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

Per Curiam
