Description
Order This pro se Ohio state prisoner appeals a district court judgment dismissing his complaint as frivolous pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). The case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth
Circuit. Upon examination, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Seeking monetary damages and declaratory relief, John McDermott filed a complaint against his former attorney and the attorney's
law firm, alleging that they defrauded him out of $8,000 that he had given them so he could challenge his unspecified criminal
conviction. Essentially claiming attorney malpractice, McDermott claimed that the defendants committed fraud, made material
misrepresentations to him and acted under false pretenses by taking his money, yet doing nothing to challenge his criminal
conviction.
