US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit - 817 F.2d 102 (4th Cir. 1987) Submitted Dec. 17, 1986. Decided April 21, 1987

Before MURNAGHAN, SPROUSE and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges

Mazeo Clark, appellant pro se.

Steven Paul McGowan and Wayne Alan Sinclair, Steptoe & Johnson and Charles G. Brown, III, Office of the Attorney General of West Virginia, for appellees.

PER CURIAM:


Mazeo Clark entered into a settlement agreement whereby in exchange for $2,000.00, Clark released all defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action attacking, for the most part, conditions of confinement. immediately after dismissal, Clark moved to set the settlement aside. The court denied Clark's post-judgment motions, and Clark appeals.

Clark in arguing that the settlement should be set aside made vague and fantastic allegations of a massive conspiracy to defraud him. The court appropriately declined to set aside the settlement, as Clark failed to allege any circumstances warranting such relief. A review of the record indicates no basis for reversal.

Accordingly, we affirm the judgment below dismissing Clark's case with prejudice pursuant to a settlement agreement executed by the parties. As the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively, we dispense with oral argument. Clark's numerous motions filed with this Court are denied.

AFFIRMED.
