Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
RICHARD L. STALDER; JOHN P. WHITLEY,
Defendants-Appellees.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 99-CV-172
--------------------
October 17, 2000
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Felix Anthony Price, Louisiana inmate # 91688, appeals the
dismissal of his civil rights suit filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 as frivolous. Price argues that the defendants failed to
mail his state suit timely and seeks declaratory and injunctive
relief from the state court’s dismissal of his suit as untimely.
Inasmuch as the district court was without jurisdiction to grant
the relief Price sought, the court correctly dismissed it as
frivolous under § 1915A. See United States v. Shepherd, 23 F.3d
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 00-30807

923, 924 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the judgment of the
district court is AFFIRMED.
Price’s motion for the appointment of counsel is DENIED.
See Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir. 1982).
