Per Curiam. Appellant Scott Philip Brooker sued __________

defendants under 42 U.S.C. 1983, alleging that they were

deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in

violation of the Eighth Amendment. He now appeals from the

district court's grant of summary judgment in defendants'

favor. After careful review of the record, we affirm

substantially for the reasons given by the district court in

its decision dated April 1, 1996.

Affirmed. _________
