Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
- - - - - - - - - -
July 30, 1996
Before DAVIS, JONES and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Anthony Evans, TDCJ # 497500, moves for leave to
appeal in forma pauperis (IFP), arguing that the district court
improperly granted the defendant's motion for summary judgment
and dismissed his Eighth Amendment claim based on calculated
harassment.
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
No. 96-20346

Evans, however, has identified no reversible error in the
dismissal. See Evans v. Collins, No. H-92-CV-859 (S.D. Tex. Mar.
29, 1996). His appeal fails to present a nonfrivolous issue; the
motion for IFP is DENIED. See Jackson v. Dallas Police Dep't,
811 F.2d 260, 261 (5th Cir. 1986). The appeal is DISMISSED. 5th
Cir. R. 42.2.
