Text: 14 Talley's civil rights claims properly were dismissed as frivolous because he fails to present any factual allegations to support them. Sections 1981 and 1982 provide relief against discrimination based on race. Nowhere in his complaint does Talley specify his race or allege that his housing application was denied based on his race. To succeed on his remaining civil rights claims, Talley must establish the deprivation of any right, privilege, or immunity secured by the Constitution or the laws of the United States. 42 U.S.C. Secs. 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988. Because Talley has failed to state a single nonfrivolous constitutional or statutory claim, these allegations have no arguable basis in fact or law.
