Curtis Salyer (plaintiff} appeals the district court's 

dismissal of his complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b}(6} for 

failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. 

Plaintiff commenced his cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, 

alleging that Oklahoma prison officials (defendants} deprived him 

of his property without due process of law. Plaintiff complained 

that upon his completion of a prior prison sentence, defendants 

failed to give money to him that had been deposited for him in his 

prison trust fund. Defendants responded that the funds would 

remain in plaintiff's trust fund until he completed all his 

current sentences and was released from prison. 

Upon careful review of the briefs and the record on appeal, 

we conclude that the district court correctly dismissed 

plaintiff's complaint for failure to state a claim for the 

deprivation of his property without due process of law. The 

judgment of the United States District Court for the Western 

District of Oklahoma is AFFIRMED for substantially the reasons 

stated in the district court's memorandum opinion of February 19, 

1988. 

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
