Darrell Lee Frech, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Incorporated Case, Defendant-appellee, 120 F.3d 270 (10th Cir. 1997)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 120 F.3d 270 (10th Cir. 1997) July 24, 1997

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, PORFILIO and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

JOHN C. PORFILIO, Circuit Judge.


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); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

"Darrell Lee., Frech" appeals from an order of the district court dismissing his pro se "9th Amendment Petition for De jure Grand Jury." That document is a conglomeration of legalese and gibberish of unintelligible content purporting to demand the impaneling of a grand jury to investigate unidentified offenses. The petition was dismissed for failure to prosecute, and the petitioner has appealed.

The brief in this court is no more intelligible than the papers filed in the district court. Petitioner cites only generalized legal theory relating to the grand jury system without identifying any cognizable legal theory upon which the district court had jurisdiction to grant him relief. Clearly, no such authority exists. Hence, the results of this case are obvious, the petitioner's "arguments" are patently unmeritorious, and this action is frivolous. Braley v. Campbell, 832 F.2d 1504, 1510 (10th Cir. 1987).

AFFIRMED.
