Cornelious Robinson, Appellant Pro Se.

PER CURIAM:

     Cornelious Robinson appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint under 28 U.S.C.A.

§ 1915A (West Supp. 1998).    Robinson alleges deliberate indiffer-

ence to his serious medical needs and denial of First Amendment

rights to a religious diet.     After reviewing the record and the

district court’s opinion, we conclude that Robinson fails to state

a claim upon which relief may be granted and dismiss the appeal for

that reason.   Robinson fails to allege facts sufficient to demon-

strate a constitutional violation.    We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process.




                                                          DISMISSED
