Ruth Cooper, Plaintiff-appellant, v. United States of America, Defendant-appellee, 99 F.3d 1149 (10th Cir. 1996)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 99 F.3d 1149 (10th Cir. 1996) Oct. 9, 1996

Before SEYMOUR, Chief Judge, KELLY, and LUCERO, Circuit Judges.** 


Ruth Cooper, appearing pro se, appeals from the dismissal of her complaint due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction and absolute judicial immunity, and also from the filing restrictions placed upon her by the district court. We have reviewed the record and the district court's order, together with the parties' submissions, and find no reversible error. The restrictions imposed on Ms. Cooper were within the court's power, and in accordance with our precedent.

AFFIRMED. All pending motions are DENIED. The mandate shall issue forthwith.
