ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Before MCKAY, MOORE, 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(1); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

Mr. Schlicher commenced a suit under 42 u.s.c. § 1983 

alleging the defendant called him a "sonofabitch. 11 The trial 

court dismissed the complaint holding that allegations of verbal 

* This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not 

be cited, or used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except

harassment do not rise to the level of constitutional violations 

and do not form a basis for imposing liability pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. § 1983. This dismissal was entered on February 26, 1990. 

Mr. Schlicher, on March 1, 1990, filed his notice of appeal 

to this court. The trial court found the appeal to be legally 

frivolous and denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis. 

In his prose brief to this court, Mr. Schlicher argues that 

he has been denied equal protection as the "acts" were "racist" 

and Kansas law prohibits profanity. He further argues the United 

States District Court Judge is prejudiced against him. 

There can be no doubt that this appeal is legally frivolous 

under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). The decision of the district court is 

AFFIRMED and the appeal is dismissed. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
