ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before SEYMOUR, ANDERSON, and BALDOCK, 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 cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument . 

Michael Wayne Finley appeals the dismissal, pursuant to 28 

u.s.c. § 1915(d), of his civil rights complaint filed under 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. The district court correctly described Finley's 

complaint and contentions as "rambling and incoherent" as well as 

"conclusory, [and] frivolous." See District Court "Order" filed 

September 6, 1991. Finley's contentions on appeal are equally 

* 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.

, 

rambling, incoherent, conclusory and frivolous. We conclude from 

the record that Finley can make no rational argument on the law or 

facts in support of the issues raised on appeal. Coppedge v. 

United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 

319 (1989). We therefore deny Finley's motion for leave to 

proceed without payment of costs or fees. 

The filing fee is waived; the appeal is DISMISSED and the 

mandate shall issue forthwith.
