Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 76 F.3d 377 (4th Cir. 1996) Submitted: January 16, 1996. Decided: January 29, 1996

Van Prince Welch, Appellant Pro Se.

Before WIDENER, WILKINS, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:


Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988). We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion for an abuse of discretion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's dismissal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
