Anthony J. Parnisi, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Attorney General of the District of Columbia, Named: Johndoe Attorney General W.d.c., Defendant-appellee, 996 F.2d 311 (10th Cir. 1993)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 996 F.2d 311 (10th Cir. 1993) June 10, 1993

Before LOGAN, MOORE and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

LOGAN, Circuit Judge.


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. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff Anthony J. Parnisi, a patient at the Colorado Mental Health Institute, appeals from dismissal by the district court of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action filed against the Attorney General of the United States and the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The district court permitted the filing, but dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), prior to service of process, finding the complaint to be legally and factually frivolous.

We have read the record and brief and agree with the district court that dismissal was appropriate. Plaintiff alleged violations of his rights under the Fifth, Eighth, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments. He asserts he is subjected to satellite surveillance, damage by laser beams, is the victim of a murder plot, and that the district judge takes orders from a satellite, among other charges. The district court's Order of Dismissal of March 23, 1993, correctly analyzes the facts and law; we AFFIRM for substantially the reasons stated therein.

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
