ABDUL JALEEL WAHAB, also known as Abdool Jaleel Wahab,
Petitioner-Appellant,
versus
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Respondent-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 2:03-CV-1213
--------------------
Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:1
Abdul Jaleel Wahab, federal prisoner # 43052-004, appeals the
district court’s dismissal of his quo warranto action for lack of
standing. Wahab argues that he did not consent to the magistrate
judge’s exercise of jurisdiction in his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 proceeding
and that, as a matter of public interest, he has a right to inquire
the basis for the magistrate judge’s exercise of authority.
1
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
1
Wahab’s arguments are insufficient to establish standing to
bring a quo warranto action. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife,
504 U.S. 555, 560-61 (1992). Because this appeal lacks arguable
merit, it is dismissed as frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d
215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
