October 24, 1997
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Robert Lee Brown, Texas prisoner # 637904, appeals the
dismissal of his section 1983 claim on grounds of failure to
state a claim. We AFFIRM.
Brown has not alleged “‘a chronology of events from which
retaliation may plausibly be inferred.’” Woods v. Smith, 60 F.3d
1161, 1166 (5th Cir. 1995), cert. denied, 116 S. Ct. 800
(1996),(quoting Cain v. Lane, 857 F.2d 1139, 1143 n.6 (7th Cir.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 97-10323

1988). Other than his conclusory allegations, Brown presents no
facts indicating a retaliatory animus for Doherty’s search of his
cell or the disciplinary proceeding against him. Bald assertions
of retaliation are not enough to support a section 1983 claim.
Id.
Brown is not entitled to relief relative to the dismissal of
his claims against appellees Clendennen and Quintanilla because
he has not adverted to them in his briefs. See Grant v. Cuellar,
59 F.3d 523, 524-25 (5th Cir. 1995).
The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
