ORDER AND JUDGMENT**
STEPHEN H. ANDERSON, 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.
Carrol Richard Olson appeals an order of the district court dismissing his complaint filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court found that plaintiff's claims were conclusory and, further, that plaintiff failed to identify an arguable factual basis for imposing liability on many of the defendants. The district court dismissed the action without prejudice so that Olson could "file a complaint which more clearly sets forth the factual basis of his claims with specific information which clearly identifies any action taken under color of state law which he asserts provides a basis for imposing liability on the named defendants under § 1983." Rec., doc. 4 at 2. Instead of amending his complaint, Olson filed this appeal. After reviewing the complaint and Olson's arguments on appeal1 we affirm for substantially the same reasons stated by the district court.
Olson's motion to proceed in forma pauperis is GRANTED, and the judgment of the United States District Court for the District of Kansas is AFFIRMED.
Honorable David L. Russell, District Judge, United States District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma, sitting by designation
