Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:97-CV-139-D-D

October 20, 1998
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, and WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Stanley Washington, Mississippi state prisoner 81653, argues
that the district court erred in dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983
complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be
granted. Washington argues that he was denied a state-created
liberty interest by being confined in administrative segregation
after a disciplinary charge against him had been dismissed.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 98-60155
-2-
We have reviewed the record, including the transcript of the
Spears hearing, and Washington’s briefs, and we find no
nonfrivolous appellate issues. Accordingly, we dismiss
Washington’s appeal essentially for the reasons adopted by the
district court in dismissing the complaint for failure to state a
claim. See Washington v. Puckett, No. 4:97-CV-139-D-D (N.D.
Miss. Mar. 6, 1998)
Washington’s appeal is DISMISSED as frivolous. See Howard
v. King, 707 F.2d 215, 220 (5th Cir. 1983); 5th Cir. R. 42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
