Before NIEMEYER, MICHAEL, and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

John Paul Turner, Appellant Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

           John Paul Turner appeals the district court’s order

granting his request to proceed in forma pauperis but dismissing

this     case     as         patently      frivolous        under       28     U.S.C.

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii) (2000).               We have reviewed the record and

find that this appeal is frivolous.                 Accordingly, we dismiss the

appeal   for    the    reasons    stated       by   the    district     court.     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

                                           2
