Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington, John C. Coughenour, District Judge, Presiding.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3.
Before BROWNING, ALARCON, and CYNTHIA HOLCOMB. HALL, JJ., Circuit Judges.
We review the district court's denial of appointment of counsel for abuse of discretion. Bradshaw v. Zoological Soc'y, 662 F.2d 1301, 1318 (9th Cir.1981). Although appellant appears to have made some effort to obtain counsel and has shown he lacks the financial resources to do so, he has not made a sufficient showing as to the merits of his claim. See id. Conclusory allegations of fraud and constitutional violations do not suffice to state a meritorious Title VII claim. The court did not abuse its discretion.
AFFIRMED.
