No. 13-10243
Before SMITH, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Nathaniel Allen, confined under an order of civil commitment as a violent
sex offender, sued various state officials and employees for declaratory and
injunctive relief. On January 30, 2013, the district court issued a thorough and
persuasive seventeen-page opinion and order dismissing all claims.
The district court carefully addressed all of Allen’s assertions and
explained why they have no merit. The judgment is AFFIRMED, essentially for
the reasons given by the district court. Allen’s motion for appointment of coun-
sel is DENIED.
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
