April 26, 1996

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHÉ, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Theral Darnell Terry appeals from the district court's

dismissal of his civil rights complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

P. 12(b)(6). He contends that he was denied a classification

hearing before an impartial classification committee, that he was

not provided with a written statement of the reasons for the

change in his classification, that he was denied his annual

classification hearing, and that his placement in close

confinement prevents him from earning good-time credits. We have

reviewed the record and, construing the dismissal as pursuant to

28 U.S.C. § 1915(d), find no reversible error. See Holloway v.

Gunnell, 685 F.2d 150, 152 (5th Cir. 1982). Accordingly, the

judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

AFFIRMED.
