No. 96-2541EA
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted Jan. 7, 1997.Decided Jan. 13, 1997.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
Russell D. Hawkins, Jr., an Arkansas inmate, appeals the district court's dismissal of Hawkins's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action.  Having carefully reviewed the record, we conclude the dismissal was proper because Hawkins failed to establish his claim of punishment as a pretrial detainee.  We also conclude Hawkins failed to make a timely demand for a jury trial.  Finally, the district court did not abuse its discretion in rejecting Hawkins's request for appointment of counsel.  Finding no reversible error, we affirm the district court.  See 8th Cir.  R. 47B.
