                      Per Curiam.  Appellant Samuel  Wilson, Jr., appeals
                      __________

            from the district court's  sua sponte dismissal of  his claim

            that  prison officials were  deliberately indifferent  to his

            serious medical  needs in violation of  the Eighth Amendment.

            Finding appellant's  claims of error to be  without merit, we

            affirm substantially for the  reasons given by the magistrate

            judge in his report and recommendation dated October 6, 1995,

            which the district court adopted as its decision.

                      Affirmed.
                      _________
