ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Nos. 90-3162 

& 90-3179 

(D.C. No. 90-3150-S) 

(D. Kansas) 

Before LOGAN, SEYMOUR, and TACHA, Circuit Judges. 

After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel 

has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially 

assist the determination of these appeals. See Fed. R. App. P. 

34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cases are therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 

Michael M. Roby, an inmate in the Kansas State Penitentiary 

at Lansing, Kansas, filed a prose 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action in 

district court alleging that the defendant prison officials 

violated his constitutional rights when they failed to enter some 

paintings he submitted in a craft show held in Leavenworth, 

* 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.

Kansas, in February 1990. The district court dismissed the action 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) because the complaint lacked any 

arguable legal basis for imposing liability upon the defendants. 

We agree that this was proper under Neitzke v. Williams, 109 S. 

Ct. 1827, 1831 (1989). 

After reviewing the record and Roby's motions for leave to 

appeal in forma pauperis, we deny those motions and dismiss the 

appeals because there is no rational argument on the law or facts 

which can be made to support a viable legal issue in this court. 

See Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438 (1962). 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
