Jeffrey Thomas Farmer, Appellant Pro Se.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

           Jeffrey Thomas Farmer appeals the district court’s order

and judgment dismissing as frivolous his civil rights complaint

against the Police Department of Carrboro, North Carolina.              The

court properly noted that Farmer’s complaint was filed in the wrong

district   and   he   could   not   seek    punitive    damages   against   a

municipality under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000).            We have reviewed the

record and dismiss the appeal as frivolous.        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.



                                                                  DISMISSED
