UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
TENTH CIRCUIT PATRICK FISHER
Clerk
SAMUEL J. WILDER,
Plaintiff - Appellant, No. 98-5120
v. (N.D. Oklahoma)
SALVATION ARMY, sued as: The (D.C. No. 97-CV-93-B)
Salvation Army (dormitory supervisor
Buddy Campbell) - Buddy Campbell,
Defendant - Appellee.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before ANDERSON, McKAY, and LUCERO, 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This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the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. The 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.
This case is before us on Samuel Wilder’s motion for leave to proceed
without prepayment of costs or fees in order to appeal the dismissal of his action
against the Salvation Army and others in which he alleges that his civil rights
were violated because the defendant defamed him, withheld some personal
effects, and violated the RICO statute. This matter has been before us once
before without success in Appeal No. 97-5227.
In addition to the claims referred to above, Mr. Wilder claims various
errors with respect to his motion filed under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b), failure to
appoint counsel, failure to consolidate with another action, failure to stay the
proceedings, failure to permit discovery, and so on.
Substantially for the reasons set forth in the orders of the district court filed
March 24, 1998, and June 12, 1998, and based upon our own review of the file,
we conclude that this action and appeal are frivolous. Accordingly, Mr. Wilder’s
motion to proceed in forma pauperis is denied, all pending motions are denied,
and this appeal is DISMISSED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
