Appellees
ON APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
BEFORE: Pillard and Wilkins, Circuit Judges, and Sentelle, Senior Circuit
Judge
JUDGMENT
This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia and on the brief and appendix 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 filed April 22, 2020,
be affirmed. The district court properly dismissed the case with prejudice on the ground
that appellant’s allegations are frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(1); Neitzke v.
Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 325 (1989) (“[A] complaint . . . is frivolous where it lacks an
arguable basis either in law or in fact.”); Crisafi v. Holland, 655 F.2d 1305, 1308 (D.C.
Cir. 1981) (“An in forma pauperis complaint is properly dismissed as frivolous . . . if it is
clear from the face of the pleading that the named defendant is absolutely immune from
suit on the claims asserted.”).
