UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

TENTH CIRCUIT

WILLIE RAY LAMPLEY,

Plaintiff - Appellant,

vs.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant - Appellee.

No. 98-7186

(	D.C. No. 98-CV-554-S)

(E.D. Okla.)

ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before ANDERSON, KELLY, and BRISCOE, Circuit Judges.**

Mr. Lampley, an inmate appearing pro se and in forma pauperis, appeals the district court's dismissal of his federal civil rights lawsuit. The district court dismissed the lawsuit by minute order, finding that Mr. Lampley failed to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a) and (e) and determining that Mr. Lampley's lawsuit was frivolous. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i); I R., tab 6. We review the district court's dismissal of a complaint as frivolous for abuse of discretion, see McWilliams v. Colorado, 121 F.3d 573, 574-75 (10th Cir. 1997), and liberally construe the pro se complaint, see Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520-21 (1972). Mr. Lampley's arguments are neither comprehensible nor rational. After carefully reviewing the record, we find that no abuse of discretion has occurred and dismiss Mr. Lampley's appeal.

AFFIRMED.
