Wahab v. United States
Wahab v. United States
Opinion
Abdul Jaleel Wahab, federal prisoner #43052-004, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his quo warranto action for lack of standing. Wahab argues that he did not consent to the magistrate judge’s exercise of jurisdiction in his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 proceeding and that, as a matter of public interest, he has a right to inquire the basis for the magistrate judge’s exercise of authority.
Wahab’s arguments are insufficient to establish standing to bring a quo warranto action. See Lujan v. Defenders of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560-61, 112 S.Ct. 2130, *883 119 L.Ed.2d 351 (1992). Because this appeal lacks arguable merit, it is dismissed as frivolous. See Howard v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
. Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
