Pamela-Lee HAMMOND, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BIBB COUNTY COURTHOUSE, Macon Hospital, a.k.a. Medical Center, Secretary of State for the State of Georgia, Defendants-Appellees.
Pamela-Lee Hammond appeals the district court's dismissal, without prejudice, of her complaint as frivolous.
A claim is frivolous if it lacks any arguable basis in law or fact. See Bilal v. Driver, 251 F.3d 1346, 1349 (11th Cir. 2001). Reviewing the district court's dismissal order for abuse of discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), see id. at 1348-49, we discern no error. Indeed, Ms. Hammond does not challenge the district court's frivolity determination, and so has abandoned any such argument. See Timson v. Sampson, 518 F.3d 870, 874 (11th Cir. 2008).
AFFIRMED.
PER CURIAM:
