Before BEAM, HANSEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                               ___________

PER CURIAM.
     Wendell Ayers appeals the district court's1 dismissal, after an
evidentiary hearing, of his claim that defendants were deliberately
indifferent to his medical needs in violation of his civil rights.   After
careful review of the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude that the
dismissal was correct.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.


     Ayers's motions on appeal are denied.
