      Appeal from the United States District Court for the
                  Western District of Louisiana
                       USDC No. 94-CV-1907
_________________________________________________________________

                         October 31, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JOLLY, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     *
      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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
     Frederick Samuels argues that the district court erred in

granting the defendants’ motion for summary judgment and dismissing

his claims that defendant Travis was deliberately indifferent to

his serious medical needs and that defendants Gates and Travis,

denied him the right to pursue his prison administrative remedies.

     We have reviewed the record, the briefs, and the district

court’s opinion, and find that the district court’s grant of the

motion for summary judgment should be AFFIRMED substantially for

the reasons adopted by the district court.
