MAY 18, 2000
Per Curiam. We have carefully reviewed the
parties' briefs and the record and affirm the judgment of
the district court that res judicata bars the current action
for essentially the reasons stated in the court's Memorandum
and Order, dated July 21, 1999. We only add that we find no
merit to appellant's contentions that the district court
judge (1) erred by not treating him leniently since he was
proceeding pro se, (2) was biased against him because of his
pro se status and Native-American ancestry, and (3) delayed
in processing his complaint due to the district judge's
involvement in planning the new courthouse.
Affirmed. See Local Rule 27(c).
