                            July 16, 1998
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Otis Ray Lee, #560033, filed a pro se, in forma pauperis

civil rights action against Dr. Michael Warren, Dr. Owen J.

Murray, Dr. Russell McDonald, and Dr. Jason Calhoun.     He alleged

that the defendants were deliberately indifferent to his serious

medical needs.    The district court, after conducting a Spears v.

McCotter** hearing, dismissed the complaint as frivolous and for

failure to state a claim, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
     **
          766 F.2d 179 (5th Cir. 1985).
                                     No. 97-41460

(e)(2)(B)(i) and (e)(2)(B)(ii).               We have reviewed the record and

Lee’s brief on appeal and perceive no error by the magistrate

judge.      Lee v. Warren et al., No. 1:96-CV-758 (E.D. Tex. Sept.

25, 1997).

       The appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous. The appeal is DISMISSED. See

5th Cir. R. 42.2.

       APPEAL DISMISSED.
