Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Alva L. Turner, individually, and as successor in interest

and former executor of the estate of Lillie Mae Crittendon,

argues that the district court abused its discretion in

dismissing her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as frivolous based on

its being barred by the statute of limitations.

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                          No. 96-10965
                              - 2 -

     We have reviewed the record, the opinion of the district

court, and the brief, and find that the appeal has no arguable

merit and, accordingly, is DISMISSED as frivolous.   See 5th Cir.

Rule 42.2.
