PER CURIAM.
Charles Armstrong appeals the district court’s1 order dismissing his pro se civil
rights complaint against private-party defendants. After careful review of the record,
we conclude that Mr. Armstrong’s complaint was frivolous and failed to state a claim.
See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), (ii); Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2), (e)(1); Bray v.
