MEMORANDUM**

2
Eugene Hamilton, a California state prisoner, appeals pro se the award of nominal damages of $1.00 after he prevailed on one of his claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the grant of summary judgment against him on other claims, and the dismissal of two additional claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d).   We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.   With one reservation noted below, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's thorough Order of Service and Partial Dismissal, and Order Granting in Part and Denying in Part Plaintiff's and Defendants' Motions for Summary Judgment.1

 The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument.   See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a);  9th Cir.R. 34-4.   Accordingly, Hamilton's request for oral argument is denied

 The test for determining whether a prisoner possesses a liberty interest in freedom from a particular treatment has changed since the district court's decisions in this case, see Gotcher v. Wood, 66 F.3d 1097, 1100 (9th Cir.1995), petition for cert. filed, 64 U.S.L.W. 3605 (U.S. Feb. 26, 1996) (No. 95-1385), but this change in the law makes no difference in the outcome of Hamilton's appeal
