Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Golith Adams, Jr., Louisiana prisoner # 100240, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of his in forma pauperis (IFP) civil

rights suit (under 42 U.S.C. § 1983) with prejudice as frivolous

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e).   Adams contends that the

conditions of his confinement in isolation constituted cruel and

unusual punishment and imposed atypical and significant hardship

on him.   We have reviewed the record and Adams’ brief and AFFIRM


     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 97-30465
                               -2-

the district court’s judgment for essentially the same reasons

adopted by the district court.   Adams v. Christian, No. 97-CV-386

(W.D. La. Mar. 20, 1997, and Apr. 15, 1997).

     AFFIRMED.
