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.  Therefore, the case is ordered submitted without oral argument.

3
Plaintiff Daniel J. Palese appeals the district court's dismissal of his civil rights suit filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.  We exercise jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and dismiss plaintiff's appeal as legally frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).

4
Plaintiff alleged in his complaint that, over the past ten years, defendants Dominic and Patricia Palese, private citizens of the State of Wyoming, had entered his residence on a daily basis without permission and had drugged and hypnotized him, and implanted cameras, sensors, and transmitters in his body while he was asleep.  He further alleged defendants conspired with an officer at the detention center to monitor his activities by using the implanted cameras, sensors, and transmitters.  The district court dismissed the complaint under § 1915(e)(2)(B) for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.  The district court granted plaintiff's request to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis.

5
We have reviewed the entire record on appeal and agree with the district court that plaintiff's complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.  Further, we conclude plaintiff's appeal is legally frivolous.

6
APPEAL DISMISSED.  The mandate shall issue forthwith.
