                         December 26, 1997
Before JOLLY, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Wilbert Vallier, federal prisoner #01465-078, appeals from a

jury verdict in favor of the defendants on his Bivens v. Six

Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S.

388, 397 (1971), claims of deliberate indifference to serious


     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

medical needs and from a dismissal of his negligence claims under

the Federal Tort Claims Act for lack of subject-matter

jurisdiction.   Vallier contends that the district court plainly

erred in instructing the jury on deliberate indifference because

the court failed to instruct the jury that it could render a

verdict in his favor if it found that the defendants were

negligent in administering medical treatment to him.     He also

contends that the jury’s verdict as to his claims of deliberate

indifference to serious medical needs was contrary to the

evidence and that he was entitled to relief on his negligence

claims.

     Vallier has not demonstrated, as to his argument that the

deliberate-indifference instruction constituted plain error, a

"substantial and ineradicable doubt whether the jury has been

properly guided in its deliberations."      Bender v. Brumley, 1 F.3d

271, 276-77 (5th Cir. 1993).    This court declines to address

Vallier’s contention that the jury verdict on his claims of

deliberate indifference to serious medical needs was contrary to

the evidence because Vallier has failed to provide to this court

a transcript of his trial.     See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b); Powell v.

Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir. 1992).

     Vallier has not demonstrated that the district court erred

in dismissing his claims of negligence under the Federal Tort

Claims Act due to his failure to file his federal complaint

within six months of the final denial by the appropriate agency.
