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

47.5.4.

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.
