Bill Max OVERTON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. UNITED STATES of America, Defendant-Appellee, 512 F. App'x 860

ORDER AND JUDGMENT TIMOTHY M. TYMKOVICH, Circuit Judge. Bill Max Overton, proceeding pro se, appeals the district court’s order dismissing without prejudice his complaint for failure to serve the United States with a summons and a copy of the complaint in accord with Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. He also asks us to grant him a default judgment as to a tax claim he asserts against the government and

summary judgment as to a claim of perjury he claims he brought against an employee of the Justice Department. We dismiss this appeal as frivolous. The district court correctly held that Over-ton did not comply with Rule 4: in contravention of the requirements of this rule, Overton failed to obtain a summons with a signature of the clerk of the court, sent the complaint to the defendants prior to it being filed, and did not effect service through a third party. Yet Overton repeatedly ignored the district court’s recitation of these basic requirements of Rule 4.

Rather than comply with this rule, Overton sought to litigate the matter further by raising the frivolous arguments that he reiterates at this court. His arguments fail for the reasons outlined by the district court. We accordingly AFFIRM. This order and judgment is not binding precedent except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R.App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1. . We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. See Constien v. United States, 628 F.3d 1207, 1210 (10th Cir.2010). .

Overton's other two claims are also frivolous: because of the failure to follow Rule 4, he is not entitled to default judgment or

summary judgment as to any matter. . The United States has not waived these service requirements in this case.
