ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before ANDERSON, TACHA, 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. 

Initially, we note plaintiff-appellant Rolly Kinnell 

designated several parties as defendants in this action. 

Plaintiff's notice of appeal, howeyer, names only Raymond Roberts 

and Dale Saffels as appellees. The use of the designation "et 

al." is not sufficient to make the unnamed individuals parties to 

this appeal. Torres Y...!.. Oakland Scavenger Co., 487 U.S. 312, 

* 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.

317-18 (1988). Roberts and Saffels are the only parties to this 

appeal. 

Plaintiff, an inmate at the Lansing Correctional Facility, 

was convicted of aggravated battery in the district court of 

Bourbon County, Kansas. This conviction was affirmed by' the 

Kansas Court of Appeals. Habeas corpus relief was denied by the 

district court in 1981. Kinnell Y..!.. State, 509 F. Supp. 1248 

(D. Kan. 1981). In 1990, plaintiff sought to have the district 

court stay habeas corpus proceedings and the decision of the 

appellate court. This district court denied any relief. The 

district court also denied subsequent related motions made by 

plaintiff. 

On appeal, plaintiff merely summarizes the arguments he made 

to the district court. We find no error in the district court's 

rulings in this case. Because plaintiff has not presented a 

reasoned argument on the law and facts in support of the issues 

raised on appeal, we deny plaintiff's motion to proceed in forma 

pauperis. Coppedge Y..!.. United States, 396 U.S. 438 (1962). We 

waive the fees and AFFIRM the rulings of the district court in 

this case. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
