MEMORANDUM ^**

** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

James S. Silveria appeals pro se the district court's dismissal as frivolous of his action against the United States seeking money from the "U.N. Sovereign." Silveria seeks $100 billion per year in compensation. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the district court's dismissal of a complaint for failure to state a claim, see Partnership Exch. Sec. v. NASD, 169 F.3d 606, 608 (9th Cir.1999), and we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's order entered on November 30, 2000.

AFFIRMED.
