Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DUHE’ and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Timothy Hugh Queen appeals the entry of summary judgment for

the respondent in this civil rights action alleging denial of

       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.

essentially the reasons adopted by the district court.

     AFFIRMED.
