Annotate this CaseBefore BRORBY, EBEL, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.**
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
Mr. Einstein appeals from the district court's denial of his Application for Leave to File under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5) without Payment of Fees, Costs or Security. The district court denied the application on the grounds that the complaint was based on an indisputably meritless legal theory, see 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) (2) (B) (i); Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327-328 (1989), specifically, that patron complaints about library noise or harassment are not within the reach of Title VII. We find no abuse of discretion. See Denton v. Hernandez, 504 U.S. 25, 33-34 (1992). Moreover, Mr. Einstein has failed to make any argument that would justify in forma pauperis status on appeal. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) (2) (B) (i); Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 443-44 (1962); LaFevers v. Saffle, 936 F.2d 1117, 1120 (10th Cir. 1991). Mr. Einstein's Motion for Leave to Proceed Without Prepayment of Costs or Fees is DENIED.
APPEAL DISMISSED.

See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument
