for his complaints of back pains and for his spitting up blood
after numerous complaints and requests to be sent to the
infirmary. Bunton also alleges that defendants Kinker and

placing him in a work assignment beyond his medical limitations.
We have reviewed the record and Bunton’s brief and AFFIRM the
district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the
defendants for essentially the same reasons adopted by the
district court. Bunton v. Karriker et al., No. 9:94-CV-1 (E.D.
Tx. Jan. 18, 1995).
AFFIRMED.
