ORDER AND JUDGMENT*

Before EBEL, KELLY, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.**

	Mr. Van Stafford, who appears pro se in this action, is a frequent litigant in the federal courts.  In this case, he appeals from the district court’s dismissal of his complaint against various Colorado state officials.  Although we hold pro se complaints to “less stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by lawyers,” Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 520 (1972), Mr. Stafford’s complaint is completely unintelligible.  Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the district court’s order (Doc. 4), we AFFIRM.
