PER CURIAM:*

Terrence Spellmon appeals from the dismissal of his suit,

or 42 U.S.C. § 1983. see Orellana v. Kyle, 65 F.3d 29, 31 (5th

Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 736 (1996). The district

court's judgment is AFFIRMED.

* Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
