PER CURIAM:
Clinton Ratliff appeals the district court’s order
dismissing his civil action under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985(3), 1986
(2000) as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915(e)(2)(B); 1915A(b)
(2000). We have reviewed the record and find that the appeal is
frivolous. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of
the district court. See Ratliff v. Rubenstein, No.
5:05-cv-00052-FPS (N.D.W. Va. Jan. 13, 2006). 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 in the decisional process.
DISMISSED
