Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana
USDC No. 94-CV-4154
- - - - - - - - - -
May 1, 1996
Before DAVIS, JONES, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rodney C. Curry appeals the grant of summary judgment for
Dr. David Green in his civil rights suit arising from the medical
care he received by Green. Green argues that Curry's notice of
appeal is untimely. We conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in extending the period for timely filing of
notice of appeal pursuant to Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5).
Curry's motion for leave to supplement his original
appellate brief is DENIED. Curry's request for the appointment
of counsel is DENIED.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 95-31211
-2-
We have carefully reviewed the record and appellate
arguments. For essentially the same reasons as explained in the
magistrate judge's report, we conclude that the district court
did not err in granting summary judgment for Green. See Varnado
v. Lynaugh, 920 F.2d 320, 321 (5th Cir. 1991).
AFFIRMED.
