    United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.

      Antone L. Knox, McAlester, OK, pro se.
    Before O’BRIEN, ANDERSON, and TACHA, Circuit Judges.
   ORDER AND JUDGMENT

DEANELL REECE TACHA, Circuit Judge.

Antone L. Knox, a pro se inmate from Oklahoma, appeals the dismissal of his civil rights action as frivolous and malicious under 28 U.S.C. § 1915A(b)(l). In a 371-page complaint, Mr. Knox named numerous defendants, including President Obama, Vice-President Biden, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, and scores of other individuals, alleging they conspired to interfere with his civil rights and retaliate for initiating other litigation. He also claimed they obstructed his access to the courts by way of force, threats, intimidation, and attempted murder, while judges, attorneys, FBI agents, and the President ignored his plight.

The district court dismissed the matter under § 1915A(b)(l), which authorizes dismissal of frivolous or malicious actions. In screening the complaint, the court observed that Mr. Knox requested, among other things:

Due process be render [sic] & the submission of the physical evidence of the Holiday card (not copies) be provided & the stamp [sic] envelope that the card was in or dismiss/expunged misconduct report & etc. for the destruction of this evidence & urgently request a[sic] evi-dentiary hearing on these grounds etc. & injunction & T.R.O. hearings urgently-

R. Vol. 1 at 112. Affording Mr. Knox’s pro se materials a liberal construction, see Van Deelen v. Johnson, 497 F.3d 1151, 1153 n. 1 (10th Cir.2007), the court ruled that his claims against judges, elected officials, and celebrities, who could not be connected to the alleged civil rights violations, were frivolous and malicious.

On appeal, Mr. Knox advances no reasoned argument why the district court erred in dismissing the complaint. Instead, he offers an array of nearly incomprehensible statements, which appear to repeat the complaint’s allegations, and summarily concludes that dismissal was improper. To the extent Mr. Knox challenges the dismissal of his action under § 1915A(b)(l), we affirm the district court’s judgment. The court recognized that Mr. Knox’s prolix complaint failed to properly connect high-ranking officials and celebrities to the alleged violations, and that Mr. Knox’s claims were frivolous and malicious. As for this appeal, Mr. Knox’s failure to proffer any coherent, reasoned argument renders this matter frivolous. See Ford v. Pryor, 552 F.3d 1174, 1180 (10th Cir.2008) (“An appeal is frivolous when the result is obvious or the appellant’s arguments of error are wholly without merit.” (quotation omitted)). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal and deny Mr. Knox’s application to proceed in forma pauperis. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)© (“the court shall dismiss the case at any time if the court determines that ... the action or appeal is frivolous or malicious”). Mr. Knox and/or his custodian are directed to immediately remit the entire outstanding balance of his appellate filing fee to the clerk of the district court. See Kinnell v. Graves, 265 F.3d 1125, 1129 (10th Cir.2001) (dismissal of appeal does not relieve a party from the responsibility to pay the appellate filing fee). If payment cannot be made in full, partial payments shall continue until the entire appellate fee is paid.

Finally, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g), one strike shall be assessed against Mr. Knox for the district court’s dismissal under § 1915A. See Hafed v. Fed. Bureau of Prisons, 635 F.3d 1172, 1176-77 (2011). Subject to the time parameters set forth in Hafed, the dismissal of this appeal shall count as a second strike against Mr. Knox. See id. (discussing time when strike ripens and may be counted against prisoner). 
      
       After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument. 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.
