ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before McKAY, MOORE, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall 

not be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, 

except for purposes of establishing the doctrines of the law of 

the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th Cir. R. 

36.3. 

Appellate Case: 89-6412 Document: 010110036213 Date Filed: 06/15/1990 Page: 1 
We have reviewed carefully the plaintiff-appellant's brief. 

Even construing broadly the arguments contained in the brief, we 

simply cannot glean from it any argument or theory that expressly 

raises a federal issue. If, as the district court concluded, this 

suit should be construed as an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the 

action necessarily fails because there has been no alleged violation of appellant's civil rights. We therefore conclude that the 

district court did not abuse its discretion when it dismissed 

appellant's suit pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 1915(d). Accordingly, we affirm. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
