Description
Order Howard A. Woods appeals a district court order dismissing his civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §
1983. The case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon eumation,
this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Woods sued two insurance companies and their employees and agents, alleging that they improperly canceled his insurance policies
with those companies. In an amended complaint, Woods sued numerous medical personnel alleging medical malpractice. The district
court determined that Woods's claims were frivolous because he had failed to allege any state action on the part of the defendant,
as is required for suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and it did not appear that diversity jurisdiction existed from the
complaints. Woods has filed a timely appeal. On appeal, he requests the appointment of counsel.
