EMANUEL R. GRANGE, A/K/A TEDDY MURPHY,

Plaintiff, Appellant,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS,

Defendant, Appellee.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS

[Hon. Mark L. Wolf, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Torruella, Chief Judge,

Stahl and Lynch, Circuit Judges.

Emanuel R. Grange, a/k/a Teddy Murphy on brief pro se.

Scott Harshbarger, Attorney General, and Ellyn H. Lazar,

Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellees.

September 22, 1997

Per Curiam. Appellant Emanuel R. Grange appeals

from the district court's dismissal of his complaint filed

under 42 U.S.C. 1983. After carefully reviewing the

parties' briefs and the record, we believe that the dismissal

was correct for essentially the reasons stated in the

district court's Order, dated January 23, 1997.

Affirmed. See Local Rule 27.1.
