Betty Jane Ayers, Appellant v. Merrick B. Garland, et al., Appellees


ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, 1:21-cv-01445-CRC

BEFORE: Millett and Katsas, Circuit Judges, and Sentelle, Senior Circuit Judge

JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM

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 June 30, 2021 order 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, 560-61, 573-74 (1992) ("[A] plaintiff raising only a generally available grievance about government-claiming only harm to his and every citizen's interest in proper application of the Constitution and laws, and seeking relief that no more directly and tangibly benefits him than it does the public at large-does not state an Article III case or controversy.").

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published.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. 1
