                                                                   Defendant—Appellee.

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Mississippi
                                USDC No. 3:22-CV-628

   Before Davis, Smith, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam:*
          Surf Moore appeals the district court’s judgment dismissing his action
   pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). This statute authorizes dismissal of
   an action brought by a plaintiff proceeding in forma pauperis when that action
   is frivolous or malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief may be granted,

Case: 22-60653     Document: 00516638749           Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/08/2023

                                    No. 22-60653

   or seeks monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief.
   § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i)-(iii). We AFFIRM.
          Plaintiff, Surf Moore, a resident of Jackson, Mississippi, sued
   Defendant, Stanley Moore, a resident of Los Angeles, California, alleging
   that Plaintiff’s mother died in March 2018 leaving a truck. Plaintiff contends
   that he is entitled to inherit the truck and that Defendant refuses to sign an
   affidavit necessary for changing registration to the truck. Plaintiff seeks a
   temporary restraining order requiring Defendant to sign the affidavit.
          Plaintiff alleges, in conclusory fashion, that Defendant has violated
   Plaintiff’s constitutional rights under the Thirteenth Amendment.
   However, he alleges no facts to support that claim or any other claim. For
   this reason and those stated in the district court’s November 29, 2022, order,
   we AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal without prejudice for failure to
   state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
          AFFIRMED.
