ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

2
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.  The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

3
Plaintiff Gwendolyn Marie Wilson, appearing pro se, filed a nebulous complaint alleging federal fraud and extortion.  The district court dismissed the complaint as unintelligible after giving plaintiff time to amend it to state a claim.  Ms. Wilson appeals and we affirm.

4
We construe liberally the pleadings of pro se litigants.  See Hall v. Bellmon, 935 F.2d 1106, 1110 (10th Cir.1991).  "We review de novo a district court's dismissal of a cause of action for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted."  Chemical Weapons Working Group, Inc.  (CWWG) v. United States Dep't of the Army, 111 F.3d 1485, 1490 (10th Cir.1997).

5
Ms. Wilson's complaints are anomalous and obscure.  We agree with the district court that Ms. Wilson's assertions are incoherent and fail to state a claim for which relief can be granted.

6
We AFFIRM the judgment of the district court for substantially the reasons stated by the court in its order dated January 28, 1998.
