               On Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Texas
                           USDC No. G-94-CV-376
_________________________________________________________________

                              October 11, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, HIGGINBOTHAM and DeMOSS, 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances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.
      Robert Meadows challenges the 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d)1 dismissal of his civil rights

action which contends that he was denied due process at two disciplinary hearings and

that his assignment to field duty violated the eighth amendment. Having considered

Meadows’ brief and reviewing the findings by the district court under the plain error

standard,2 and noting no error of law, the judgment appealed is AFFIRMED.

Pub. L. No. 104-134, 110 Stat. 1321 (1996).
