Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Smith appeals the district court’s grant of summary
judgment for the defendants-appellees. Smith argues that the
district court erred in dismissing his complaint arising under 42
U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, 1985, in which he alleged that the
defendants-appellees had discriminated against him on the basis
of his race when they dismissed him from the medical program at
the Louisiana State University in Shreveport, Louisiana.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 97-30288
