ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MOORE, 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. 

Appellant Louis Cotton appeals from an order of the district 

court dismissing his action as frivolous. On appeal, Cotton 

asserts that the district court erred in denying his request to 

have the body of the late victim of his alleged crime exhumed. 

Because we find that Cooper has not advanced a reasoned argument 

on either the law or facts in support of his claim, see Coppedge 

~ United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962); Ragan v. Cox, 305 F.2d 58 

* 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.

(10th Cir. 1962), we DENY the motion to proceed in forma pauperis 

and DISMISS the appeal.
