See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Clinton   Ratliff   appeals      the   district   court’s    order

dismissing his civil action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), 1986

(2000) as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B); 1915A(b)

(2000).   We have reviewed the record and find that the appeal is

frivolous.    Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of

the    district   court.          See   Ratliff     v.    Rubenstein,     No.

5:05-cv-00052-FPS (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 13, 2006).             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 in the decisional process.

                                                                 DISMISSED

                                    - 2 -
