CHRISTOPHER DORSEY; B.G. OF NEW ORLEANS,
Defendants-Appellees
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:10-CV-2560
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Shecka Williams appeals the district court dismissal as frivolous of her pro
se civil complaint. The district court determined that it lacked subject matter
jurisdiction over Williams’s claims. On appeal, Williams argues that the district
court erred in dismissing her case prior to trial. The court “shall” dismiss an in
forma pauperis case “at any time” after determining that it is frivolous. See 28
U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Williams also appears to argue that the district court

Pursuant to 5TH CIR . R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not

R. 47.5.4.

circumstances warranting such an appointment. See Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691
F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir. 1982).
Before this court, Williams’s claims about the lack of a trial and the
conduct of the defendants show no error in the district court’s dismissal based
on lack of jurisdiction. See, e.g., Grant v. Cuellar, 59 F.3d 523, 524 (5th Cir.
1995). Therefore, the appeal is frivolous and is DISMISSED. See Howard v.
King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5 TH C IR. R. 42.2. Additionally,
Williams’s motion for extraordinary relief is likewise DENIED.
