v.
James ROWLAND, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 91-16380.

Before: O'SCANNLAIN, LEAVY and HAWKINS, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM**
Juan Carlos Gil Gomez appeals the district court's dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 action alleging that prison officials violated his constitutional rights by improper custody and national origin classifications. We conclude, following review of Gomez's amended complaint, that the district court correctly determined that even after amendment, Gomez could not state a cognizable constitutional claim against any named defendant. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1915; Neitzke v. Williams, 490 U.S. 319, 327 (1989) (Section 1915(d) gives federal courts "not only the authority to dismiss a claim based on an indisputably meritless legal theory, but also the unusual power to pierce the veil of the complaint's factual allegations and dismiss those claims whose factual contentions are clearly baseless"). Therefore, the district court is
AFFIRMED.
