Stewart B. Allen, Appellant Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order dismissing

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d) (1988), his civil action seeking to

enjoin the Internal Revenue Service from collecting unpaid taxes,

penalties and interest. We have reviewed the record and the dis-

trict court's opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we
affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Allen v. Commission-
er, No. CA-96-302-A (E.D. Va. Mar. 8, 1996). 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
