                            March 1, 1996
Before GARWOOD, JONES, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Clarence Stewart, Jr., appeals from the district court's

dismissal of his civil rights complaint.      Stewart argues that the

defendants have refused to acknowledge that he was previously

awarded credit for time served.   We have reviewed the record and

the appellant's brief, and we affirm the judgment for the reasons

stated by the district court.

     Stewart also argues that after prison officials ignored his

request for a cell change, he was raped by his cellmate.     This

     *
        Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.
                            No. 95-30996
                                 -2-

court need not address issues not considered by the district

court.    This issue was raised for the first time in the notice of

appeal and was not, therefore, presented to or considered by the

district court.   We will not consider it for the first time on

appeal.

     AFFIRMED.
