           [Hon. Mark L. Wolf, U.S. District Judge]
                                                              

                                         

                            Before

                    Torruella, Chief Judge,

Emanuel R. Grange, a/k/a Teddy Murphy on brief pro se.
                                                 
Scott  Harshbarger,  Attorney   General,  and   Ellyn  H.   Lazar,
                                                                             
Assistant Attorney General, on brief for appellees.

                                         

                      September 22, 1997
                                         

          Per Curiam.   Appellant  Emanuel R.  Grange appeals
                                

from  the district court's  dismissal of his  complaint filed

under  42 U.S.C.     1983.    After carefully  reviewing  the

parties' briefs and the record, we believe that the dismissal

was  correct  for  essentially  the  reasons  stated  in  the

district court's Order, dated January 23, 1997.

          Affirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.    
                                    

                             -2-
