UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FEB 27 1998
TENTH CIRCUIT
PATRICK FISHER
Clerk
RONNIE LADALE THOMAS,
Petitioner - Appellant,
v. No. 97-1344
(D.C. No. 97-M-1362)
J. W. BOOKER, (District of Colorado)
Respondent - Appellee.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
Before PORFILIO, KELLY, and HENRY, Circuit Judges.
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.
*
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of
law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. This court generally disfavors the
citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under
the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
Our review indicates the district court did not err. The motion to appeal without
prior payment of costs is GRANTED. The judgment is AFFIRMED for the reasons
stated in the district court’s order of dismissal.
