PER CURIAM:* Charles Andrew LeBlanc, federal prisoner # 66186-079, argues that the district court abused its discretion in dismissing his claims as frivolous and for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i), * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 98-30011 -2- (ii). LeBlanc argues that 1) he was denied access to the court; 2) that prison personnel interfered with the transmittal of his mail to the warden; 3) that prison personnel retaliated against him for exercising his rights; and 4) that the district court erred in denying his motion to amend his complaint to include additional defendants. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties and AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal of the complaint substantially for the reasons adopted by the district court. See LeBlanc v. Hawks, No. 97-CV-773 (W.D. La. Dec. 11, 1997). AFFIRMED.
