MEMORANDUM*


2
Arizona state prisoner Fred Ortega appeals pro se the district court's sua sponte dismissal of his Amended Complaint in Ortega's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging conspiracy and failure by the police to investigate a crime reported by Ortega in 1994.  We are required to dismiss an in forma pauperis appeal sua sponte if the case "fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted."  28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii);  Marks v. Solcum, 98 F.3d 494, 495 (9th Cir.1996) (per curiam).  We agree with the district court that Ortega's amended complaint is insufficient to state a claim against the police officer, two prosecutors, and the County.  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal.  See id.

DISMISSED.1


**
 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.  See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4

 We reject Ortega's contention that the district court erred by denying his request for appointment of counsel since his case presents no exceptional circumstances.  See Aldabe v. Aldabe, 616 F.2d 1089, 1093 (9th Cir.1980)
