Sam Anthony, Appellant Pro Se. David J. Ball, Jr., OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Washington, D.C., for Appellees.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Sam Anthony appeals the district court’s order dismissing

without prejudice his civil action for failure to comply with the

court’s order to particularize his complaint in accordance with

Fed. R. Civ. P. 8.   We have reviewed the record and the district

court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although

we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny Anthony’s

motion for appointment of counsel and affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. See Anthony v. United States Attorney General,

No. CA-01-635-2 (E.D. Va. March 6, 2002).    We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
