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 order filed August 31, 2004 be affirmed. The court properly dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, as appellant does not allege that the parties are diverse and his constitutional claim is “ ‘patently insubstantial,’ presenting no federal question suitable for decision.” Best v.
