ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before LOGAN, XOORE, 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. 

*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.

34 (a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered 

submitted without oral argument. 

This is an appeal from the dismissal of plaintiff's prose 42 

u.s.c. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim. We have 

reviewed the briefs and the record and conclude the district court 

properly adopted the recommendations of the magistrate. 

Accordingly, the judgment is AFFIRMED substantially for the 

reasons set forth in the recommendations dated February 20, 1990. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
