October 11, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, HIGGINBOTHAM and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
*
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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances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.
Robert Meadows challenges the 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d)1 dismissal of his civil rights
action which contends that he was denied due process at two disciplinary hearings and
that his assignment to field duty violated the eighth amendment. Having considered
Meadows’ brief and reviewing the findings by the district court under the plain error
standard,2 and noting no error of law, the judgment appealed is AFFIRMED.
