                              Summary Calendar

      Appellant has failed to state a viable complaint. His problem is only with
the exercise of the disciplinary responsibility of the defendants. As the district
court has correctly explained, absolute prosecutorial and judicial immunity bar
this action.
      AFFIRMED.
