Frank Voth, Appellant, v. Janet Reno, United States Attorney General, et al., Appellees, 93 F.3d 986 (D.C. Cir. 1996)

Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit - 93 F.3d 986 (D.C. Cir. 1996) July 31, 1996

Before: WALD, SILBERMAN, and SENTELLE, Circuit Judges.

JUDGMENT

PER CURIAM.


This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the briefs filed by the parties. The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for an opinion. See D.C. Cir. Rule 36(b). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's order dismissing appellant's complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) be affirmed substantially for the reasons stated by the district court in its order. Appellant's claim lacks merit because there is no law which obligates the Attorney General to investigate complaints. See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974); In re Kaminski, 960 F.2d 1062 (D.C. Cir. 1992); Powell v. Katzenbach, 359 F.2d 234 (D.C. Cir. 1965).

The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
