 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 145 F.3d 1337 (9th Cir. 1998) Submitted May 14, 19982. Decided May 22, 1998

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of California Irma E. Gonzalez, District Judge, Presiding.

Before SCHROEDER, TROTT, and FERNANDEZ, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM1 

Michael J. Collins appeals pro se the district court's dismissal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) of his complaint against President Clinton. Collins alleged that in 1994 the President promised to hire him as an advisor, that Collins worked as the President's advisor for two years by correspondence, and that the President refused his demand for payment of $1 million. The caption of Collins' complaint asserts discrimination on the basis of handicap in hiring White House staff. The district court ruled that the allegations were frivolous and that the President enjoys absolute immunity from Collins' claims for damages. We affirm for the reasons set forth in the district court's Order Dismissing Complaint With Prejudice filed December 5, 1996.

AFFIRMED.
