MEMORANDUM*

2
Gerald Michael Moore, an Arizona state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's sua sponte dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by failing to follow proper procedures and misleading the trial judge while prosecuting him on charges of using false information on an Arizona Driver's License application.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm for the reason stated in the district court's order filed on December 12, 1996.1

3
AFFIRMED.

**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.  R.App. P. 34(a);  9th Cir.  R. 34-4.  Accordingly, Moore's request for oral argument is denied

 The district court dismissed Moore's action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 9 1915A(b).  To the extent that the district court dismissed Moore's action because it was frivolous, we review for abuse of discretion.  See Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33 (1992).  To the extent that the district court dismissed Moore's action because it failed to state a claim, we review de novo.  See Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir.1994) (per curiam) The outcome of this appeal, however, is not dependent on the standard of review because the district court's dismissal of Moore's action would be affirmed under either standard
