    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    May 10, 2006.
    
      Troy L. Bishop, Huntsville, TX, pro se.
    Before BARKSDALE, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Troy L. Bishop, Texas prisoner # 688987, appeals the district court’s dismissal of his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1915A and 1915(e)(2)(B). Bishop argues that the defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs because on two occasions lasting several days he did not receive his prescribed medication or an alternate medication and suffered injury when he fell after having two seizures. He also argues that he was discharged from a prison psychiatric program in retaliation for threatening to file a lawsuit.

The record shows that medical personnel noted the lapses in Bishop’s medication and more than once re-ordered the prescription but the drug was not delivered in a timely manner. We conclude from a review of the record that, even if Bishop’s allegations were to state a claim for medical malpractice, he has not shown that the defendants were deliberately indifferent as required for a constitutional claim. See Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 105-07, 97 S.Ct. 285, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976); Domino v. Texas Dep’t of Criminal Justice, 239 F.3d 752, 756 (5th Cir.2001); Varnado v. Lynaugh, 920 F.2d 320, 321 (5th Cir.1991). We also conclude that Bishop’s retaliation claim, to the extent that it was exhausted, is without merit. See 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); Johnson v. Rodriguez, 110 F.3d 299, 310 (5th Cir.1997); Woods v. Smith, 60 F.3d 1161, 1166 (5th Cir.1995).

AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
