Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and RYAN, Circuit Judges, and BENJAMIN F. GIBSON, District Judge*.

ORDER

2
Plaintiff appeals the district court's judgment dismissing his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action for frivolity.  The appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  Upon examination of the certified record and the plaintiff's brief, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).


3
Plaintiff claimed that defendants negligently performed their official duties and deprived him of his personal property in violation of procedural due process.


4
Upon consideration, we conclude that plaintiff's complaint was properly dismissed for frivolity because it was based on mere negligence which is simply insufficient to invoke due process protection and state a cognizable claim under Sec. 1983.   See Davidson v. Cannon, 474 U.S. 344 (1986);  Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327 (1986);  Jones v. Sherrill, 827 F.2d 1102 (6th Cir.1987);  Nishiyama v. Dickson County, Tenn., 814 F.2d 277 (6th Cir.1987) (en banc).


5
The district court's judgment is hereby affirmed.  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
