ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before ANDERSON, BALDOCK and EBEL, Circuit Judges.** 

Plaintiff-appellant Hiram R. Johnston, Jr. appeals prose 

from the district court's denial of leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis on appeal and from the court's dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. 

§ 2255 action for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. We 

have reviewed the record and briefs filed in connection with this 

appeal and are persuaded that the district court correctly 

dismissed Johnston's action for failure to exhaust administrative 

* 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. 

** 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 therefore is ordered 

submitted without oral argument.

remedies. See Brice v. Day, 604 F.2d 664, 666-67 (10th Cir. 

1979). We find that Johnston's appeal lacks an arguable basis in 

law and consequently dismiss this action as frivolous pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). See Neitzke v. Williams, 109 S. Ct. 1827, 

1832 ( 1989). 

DISMISSED.
