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
