Appeal from the United States District Court

July 31, 1996
Before JOLLY, JONES and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Charles Edward Robinson, TDCJ inmate #678517, appeals the
district court's final judgment, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
54(b), of Robinson's motion for damages, filed under the district
court docket number assigned to Robinson's petition for federal

habeas relief. Robinson's request for a certificate of probable
cause is denied as unnecessary.
Robinson argues that the district court erred by failing to
hold in abeyance, until the determination of his habeas petition,
his purported civil rights suit against Adams. We have carefully
reviewed the record and the appellate arguments. For essentially
the same reasons as explained in the order of dismissal, see
Robinson v. Adams, No. H-95-3784 (S.D. Tex. Jan. 16, 1996), we
find no error by the court's dismissal for want of federal
jurisdiction.
This appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous.
See 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
DISMISSED.
