Jim R. Housley, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Bob Rowe, Defendant-appellee, 48 F.3d 1232 (10th Cir. 1995)

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, McKAY, and HENRY, Circuit Judges

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 cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Mr. Jim Housley alleged, in a vague and conclusory manner, civil rights violations pursuant to 42 U.S.C.1983 and 1985(3). After a de novo review of the magistrate's order, the district court denied Mr. Housley's Petition to Seek Leave to File a Pro Se Action and therefore declared moot his Motion for Leave to Proceed in Forma Pauperis. Mr. Housley appeals, alleging the district court erred in denying him the right to proceed in forma pauperis. We affirm.

As a result of Mr. Housley's "abusive and lengthy" litigation history, the district court in a prior case imposed restrictions on his ability to file future pro se actions. See Housley v. State of Oklahoma, CIV-92-785-B, slip op. at App. B (W.D. Okla. June 4, 1992). In the instant case, the district court found that Mr. Housley did not comply with those guidelines. We conclude that this finding is not clearly erroneous.

We AFFIRM the district court's order. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
