UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT


DARLENE QUINN,

Plaintiff-Appellant,

v.

INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE,

Defendant-Appellee.



No. 99-6296

(D.C. No. 99-CV-500-T)

(W.D. Okla.)


ORDER AND JUDGMENT(*)


Before TACHA, EBEL, and BRISCOE, Circuit Judges.


After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Plaintiff Darlene Quinn, proceeding pro se, brought this action against the Internal Revenue Service alleging that it was liable for various acts related to other individuals' use of her social security number on their tax returns. On the government's motion, the district court determined that plaintiff had failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), and dismissed the action with prejudice. Plaintiff appeals. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

We review the dismissal of a complaint under Rule 12(b)(6) de novo. See Sutton v. Utah State Sch. for the Deaf & Blind, 173 F.3d 1226, 1236 (10th Cir. 1999). We have fully considered plaintiff's arguments on appeal and reviewed the record, and we are not persuaded that the district court erred. Therefore, for substantially the same reasons as stated in the district court's July 6, 1999 order, we affirm the district court's dismissal of plaintiff's claims.

AFFIRMED.
