Per Curiam. Appellant Samuel Wilson, Jr., appeals
from the district court's sua sponte dismissal of his claim
that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his
serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Finding appellant's claims of error to be without merit, we
affirm substantially for the reasons given by the magistrate
judge in his report and recommendation dated October 6, 1995,
which the district court adopted as its decision.
Affirmed.
