JUDGMENT
PER CURIAM.

This appeal was considered on the record from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia and on the briefs filed by the parties.

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the district court's dismissal of Jerome Frank Harris' complaint as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915(d) be affirmed.  Sovereign immunity bars suits for money damages against government officials acting in their official capacities absent a specific waiver by the government.   Clark v. Library of Congress, 750 F.2d 89, 103 (D.C.Cir.1984).  While the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. Secs. 1346(b), 2671 et seq., provides a waiver of sovereign immunity in certain circumstances, it does not apply to any claim "arising in respect of the assessment or collection of any tax."  28 U.S.C. Sec. 2680(c).  It is

FURTHER ORDERED that appellant's motion for summary disposition and judgment, motion for summary reversal, and motion to file copies of applicable laws be dismissed as moot.
