                                             ___________________

                                 ____________________

                                        Before

                                Selya, Cyr and Boudin,
                                   Circuit Judges.

            Nancy A.  White, Special Assistant  Attorney General, and  Herbert

        C. Hanson,  Senior Litigation  Attorney, Department of  Correction, on
        _________
        Motion for Summary Disposition, for appellee.

                                 ____________________

                                   August 27, 1996
                                 ____________________

                      Per Curiam.   We affirm for  the reasons stated  by
                      __________

            the  district  court.    Despite  an  opportunity  to  amend,

            plaintiff failed to  allege any action or  inaction rising to

            the level of deliberate indifference to plaintiff's needs and

            therefore failed  to state  an Eighth  Amendment claim.   See
                                                                      ___

            Wilson   v.  Seiter,   501   U.S.   294  (1991)   (deliberate
            ___________________

            indifference  standard).     Nor  did  he   state  any  other

            constitutional claim.   Plaintiff may  pursue whatever  state

            causes of action he believes he may have in state court.

                      Plaintiff's  motion to strike appellee's motion for

            summary disposition is denied.

                      Affirmed.  See Loc. R. 27.1.
