MEMORANDUM*

Submitted May 14, 1998**

WILLIAMS, Senior J. Presiding

3
Lazarus Kipkirwa appeals pro se the district court's dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) of his civil rights action alleging that a Santa Clara County attorney and an administrative assistant to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors violated his rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.  We review the dismissal for an abuse of discretion, see Trimble v. City of Santa Rosa, 49 F.3d 583, 584 (9th Cir.1995) (per curiam), and we affirm.

4
The district court properly dismissed Kipkirwa's action under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B).  Kipkirwa's allegations that the county attorney rescheduled a hearing date on the county's motion to dismiss without first conferring with Kipkirwa, and that the county attorney and the administrative assistant wrongfully expended taxpayer money by calling Kipkirwa to discuss a motion for default judgment do not state a claim for a constitutional violation.

5
We deny Kipkirwa's motion to consolidate appeal nos. 97-15305, 97-15310 and 97-15357.

6
AFFIRMED.
