No. 92-7041.
United States Court of Appeals, Tenth Circuit.
Sept. 4, 1992.

Before LOGAN, BARRETT and EBEL, Circuit Judges.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
LOGAN, Circuit Judge.


1
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal.   See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  10th Cir.R. 34.1.9.   The case is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.


2
Joe James, an inmate in an Oklahoma state prison, appeals the judgment entered against him in his civil rights suit against the defendant officials of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections.   Plaintiff's complaint asserted deliberate indifference to a serious medical condition in violation of his Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.   Defendant suffered from deformities of his feet diagnosed as hallux valgus condition, commonly known as hammertoe.   At the time of briefing of the appeal one of plaintiff's feet had been operated on, apparently successfully, and he was awaiting an operation on the other.


3
After review of the briefs and record on appeal we AFFIRM the district court's judgment for substantially the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's Findings and Recommendation entered January 23, 1992, and adopted by the district court.


4
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
