PER CURIAM.


        James McAlphin appeals from the district court's1 order dismissing
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.      Having carefully reviewed the parties' briefs
and the record (including the hearing transcript), we conclude the district
court    correctly   determined     that    McAlphin   failed   to   establish   that
defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in
violation of the Eighth Amendment.         Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of
the district court.     See 8th Cir. R. 47B.




         1
       The Honorable George Howard, Jr., United States District
Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and
recommendation of the Honorable H. David Young, United States
Magistrate for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

           CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
