J udge.* 

*The Honorable Juan G. Burciaga, 

Di strict Court for the District 

designation. 

District Judge, United States 

of New Mexico, sitting by 

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. 

submitted without oral argument. 

The cause is therefore ordered 

Plaintiff appeals from an order dismissing his 42 U.S.C.

conference conducted by the district court with the parties. 

Because the conference was off the record, there is no means for

this court to review the determination made at that time. 

Nevertheless, the dismissal of this action may be affirmed on the 

basis that plaintiff's complaint fails to state a claim upon which 

relief may be granted because it does not allege any personal 

action on the part of the named defendant. See Fed R. Civ. P. 

12( b)(6); Wiggins v. New Mexico State Supreme Court Clerk, 664 

F .2d 812 (10th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 459 U.S. 840 (1982). 

Accordingly, the judgment of the United States District Court 

for the District of Utah is AFFIRMED. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
