            Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Louisiana
                         USDC No. 03-CV-1833
         __________________________________________________

Before REAVLEY, JOLLY and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     The judgment of the district court is affirmed because the

precedent of this circuit requires more than verbal abuse to

raise a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.     Gomez v.

Chandler, 163 F.3d 921 (5th Cir. 1999).

     AFFIRMED.

     *
       Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
