- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas USDC No. 3:96-CV-70 - - - - - - - - - - February 24, 1997 Before JONES, DeMOSS and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Cyrill Athanasios Kolocotronis, who resides at the Missouri

State Mental Hospital, appeals the district court’s dismissal of

his

civil rights complaint as frivolous. The

district court did not abuse its discretion in adopting a

magistrate judge’s finding that Kolocotronis’ allegations, which

describe a government plot to spread the AIDS virus throughout

the world, were “fantastic” and “delusional” and therefore

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4. No. 96-11215 -2-

frivolous. See Kolocotronis v. Club of Rome, No. 3:96-CV-0070-H

(N.D. Tex. Aug. 21, 1996). Kolocotronis’ appeal is without

arguable merit and is frivolous. See Howard v. King,

(5th Cir. 1983). Because the appeal is frivolous, it

is DISMISSED. See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.

DISMISSED.
