ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

2

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.

Durand K. Dickerson appeals from the dismissal of his pro se civil rights complaint filed in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas. Mr. Dickerson sought damages in the sum of $37.5 million alleging constitutional violations committed by the defendants in state court actions filed against Mr. Dickerson. In a lengthy and carefully analyzed memorandum and order, the district court thoroughly and correctly treated each of Mr. Dickerson's claims. Our review of the record and the district court's disposition and the briefs filed in this court lead us to conclude the district court did not err in any respect. Indeed, we find Mr. Dickerson's claims and his arguments patently frivolous. Accordingly, for the reasons stated by the district court in its memorandum and order, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
