Before DUHÉ, DeMOSS, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Clifton Roger Johnson appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C.

§ 1983 suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).   Johnson contends

that as a state prisoner confined to a county jail he is treated

we perceive no abuse of discretion by the district court.     We

AFFIRM the district court's dismissal for essentially the same




    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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.

     AFFIRMED.
