PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) (West Supp. 1997). Appellant alleged the exis-
tence of a wide-ranging conspiracy between the Ku Klux Klan and the
United States Government to control him and cause him harm. We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
abuse of discretion. Wingert v. United States Gov't, No. CA-97-
1821-JFM (D. Md. June 11, 1997). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal
as frivolous. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and
legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
DISMISSED
