PER CURIAM:*

     Terrence Spellmon, a Texas prisoner (#486962), appeals the

magistrate judge’s order granting the defendants’ motions to


     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 96-10091
                                -2-

dismiss his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action.   We have

reviewed Spellmon’s complaint, a transcript of his hearing held

pursuant to Spears v. McCotter, 766 F.2d 179 (5th Cir. 1985), the

defendants-appellees’ motions to dismiss, and the magistrate

judge’s order addressing the defendants-appellees’ motions to

dismiss.   Because we find no reversible error, we affirm for

essentially the reasons stated by the magistrate judge in

granting the defendants’ motions to dismiss.   See Spellmon v.

Drewry et al., No. 1:94-CV-136-BA (N.D. Tex. Dec. 28, 1995).

     AFFIRMED.
