Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-99-CV-2499
--------------------
August 21, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Wardell Moore, Texas inmate # 845237, appeals the dismissal
of his civil rights complaint, filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983, as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Moore
argues that he was denied access to the courts because inadequate
time in the library caused him not to be able to research law
relative to the statute of limitations in his pending civil
rights claim that was dismissed as time-barred. Because Moore
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.

did not allege that the defendants prevented him from filing the
civil rights complaint that was dismissed as time-barred or that
they prevented him from preparing and transmitting any other
legal document, his complaint fails to state a claim. Bounds v.
Smith, 430 U.S. 817, 821 (1977); Brewer v. Wilkinson, 3 F.3d 816,
821 (5th Cir. 1993). Accordingly, the district court did not err
when it dismissed Moore’s complaint. Black v. Warren, 134 F.3d
732, 733 (5th Cir. 1998); 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
AFFIRMED.
