Per Curiam .

[¶1] Charles E. Syvertson, an inmate at the North Dakota State Penitentiary, brought suit against Dave Heit, a prison guard, contending he was traumatized by Heit uttering obscenities in his presence.  The district court dismissed under N.D.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(v).  We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(1) (“the appeal is frivolous and completely without merit”).
