Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and JONES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
James Kariem Turner, Texas state prisoner # 645521, appeals
from the dismissal of his civil rights complaint for lack of
jurisdiction. Turner argues that the court erred in dismissing
the complaint on the ground that he lacked standing to sue and
that the court abused its discretion in denying class
certification. We have reviewed the record and briefs on appeal
and AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal of Turner’s complaint
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
