Head Matter:
William A. FISHER, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. COURT & LEGAL RECORDS, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 00-7684.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted March 8, 2001.
Decided March 16, 2001.
William A. Fisher, pro se.
Before DIANA GRIBBON MOTZ, TRAXLER, and KING, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
William A. Fisher appeals a district court order dismissing without prejudice under 28 U.S.C.A. § 1915(g) (West Supp. 2000) his civil rights complaint. We decline to rule on whether the three appeals cited by the district court count as strikes for purposes of § 1915(g) and dismiss the appeal on alternate grounds. See Cochran v. Morris, 73 F.3d 1310, 1315 (4th Cir. 1996) . Because we find that Fisher's civil rights complaint fails to state a claim, we dismiss the appeal as frivolous. See Clemente v. Allen, 120 F.3d 703, 705 (7th Cir.1997) . We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED.
