PER CURIAM.

Matthew Harker appeals from the final judgment entered in the District Court1

for the Western District of Missouri denying him leave to proceed in forma pauperis

(IFP) and concluding that his complaint allegations were legally frivolous. Upon

careful review, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in

denying IFP status, or err in concluding that Harker’s fanciful complaint allegations

were frivolous. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. 47A(a).
