August 15, 1997

No. 96-11123
-2-
motion to dismiss his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action
against the defendants in their official capacities, and the
magistrate judge’s August 19, 1996, order dismissing Spellmon’s
action as to defendants Strain and Webb. Spellmon has expressly
abandoned any claims against the defendants in their official
capacities. The district court correctly ruled that Spellmon’s
due process claims against Strain and Webb, in which he argued
that prison disciplinary convictions resulted in the potential
loss of good-time credits and parole eligibility, were meritless.
See Sandin v. Conner, 115 S. Ct. 2293 (1995); Luken v. Scott, 71
F.3d 192, 193 (5th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 1690
(1996); Orellana v. Kyle, 65 F.3d 29, 32 (5th Cir. 1995), cert.
denied, 116 S. Ct. 736 (1996).
AFFIRMED.
