Before KING, SMITH, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Texas prisoner Odan Ben Bowman appeals the dismissal of his

civil rights action against several prison employees.    Bowman

contends that the district court erred by denying his proposed

witness lists; holding him to the standards applicable to

attorneys; dismissing his claims against defendants Jackson,

Arnold and Hall for failing to serve them; denying his motion for



     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 95-40267
                               -2-

appointment of counsel; dismissing his claims surrounding the use



of force by defendant Fortner, the medical care he received

following that use of force, and his claims that guards forced

him to shave and that defendant Green punished him despite a

clipper-shave pass Bowman believed permitted him to avoid

shaving; and by imposing a $60 partial filing fee on him.

     We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties

and we find no reversible error.   We therefore affirm for

essentially the reasons given by the district court.

     AFFIRMED.
