Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 36 F.3d 1105 (10th Cir. 1994) Sept. 19, 1994

Before TACHA, BRORBY and EBEL, Circuit Judges.


ORDER AND JUDGMENT1 

After examining the briefs and the appellate record, this three-judge panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not be of material assistance in the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Ms. Schwarz, a pro se litigant, seeks to appeal the district court's ruling denying her request for certified copies of her court file at court expense. The district court denied Ms. Schwarz's request on the merits, finding it to be without merit. See Order of May 16, 1994. In addition, the district court denied appellant's motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis on grounds of frivolity pursuant to 28 U.S.C.1915(d).

After a review of the record on appeal, we cannot say the district court abused its discretion in denying the motion for leave to appeal in forma pauperis. See Shabazz v. Askins, 980 F.2d 1333, 1333 (10th Cir. 1992) (citing Denton v. Hernandez, 112 S. Ct. 1728, 1734 (1992)).

The appeal is frivolous under 28 U.S.C.1915(d). The appeal is DISMISSED.
