Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Raul Herrera, Texas prisoner # 585739, appeals the dismissal

of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as frivolous.         In his complaint,

administrative segregation violates his rights under the First,

Eighth,   and   Fourteenth   Amendments.      Herrera   has    demonstrated

district court’s    dismissal    of   his   complaint   was   an    abuse    of
