                                 No. 15-20667


      Plaintiff-Appellant Kenneth MacKenzie, proceeding in forma pauperis,
appeals the district court’s sua sponte dismissal of his complaint against Prime
Minister Muammar al-Gaddafi et al. with prejudice under 28 U.S.C. §
1915(e)(2)(B) because the district court found it frivolous. We agree.
Accordingly, the district court’s judgment dismissing this action with prejudice
is AFFIRMED.
