                                  No. 12-50468
interim superintendent. His grievance is essentially that the district should
not have allowed his children to attend school there and that his wife should
be forced to return the children to Connecticut. In his brief on appeal, Book
states that “[t]his lawsuit arises in a situation of a yet unaddressed long-term
political cancer in Connecticut state government.”
      The district court declined Book’s motion to proceed in forma pauperis
and entered summary judgment for defendants. The court correctly decided
that Book had sufficient income and assets to pay the required fees. The court
also observed that “Plaintiff’s Civil Rights Complaint consists of a twenty-four
page tirade against the Connecticut state government and a recitation of Plain-
tiff’s crusade to rein in corruption in that state by filing numerous law suits.”
      There is no error. The summary judgment is AFFIRMED.
