Before EMILIO M. GARZA, BENAVIDES, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Olalumade Bamidele, Texas prisoner # 684802, appeals from
the district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint
as duplicative and thus malicious. Bamidele asserts for the

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

timely filed a notice of appeal. Bamidele also refers to Fed. R.
Civ. P. 2 and 4, but he has failed to explain how the district
court violated these rules. Fed. R. App. P. 28(a)(8). Bamidele
has not demonstrated that the district court abused its
discretion in dismissing his complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§ 1915(e). Bailey v. Johnson, 846 F.2d 1019, 1021 (5th Cir.
1988). Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
