Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 856 F.2d 187 (4th Cir. 1988) Submitted Jan. 29, 1988. Decided Aug. 17, 1988

Mary Ann Spanovich, appellant pro se.

Michael R. Ferrell, Corinne Griffin Russell, County Attorney's Office, for appellee.

Before WIDENER, JAMES DICKSON PHILLIPS, and WILKINS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Upon review of the record and the opinion of the district court dismissing plaintiff's complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), we find this appeal to be without merit. The district court did not abuse its discretion in setting aside the entry of default or in dismissing the action, and we affirm the judgment below on the reasoning of the district court. Spanovich v. Department of Child Protective Services, C/A No. 87-410-Civ-5 (E.D.N.C. Oct. 15, 1987). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately developed in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
