July 29, 1996
Before GARWOOD, WIENER and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Michael Rose appeals the district court's partial dismissal
of his civil rights suit as frivolous under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d)
and grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. We

have conducted a de novo review of the record and conclude that
summary judgment in favor of the defendants was proper. See
Little v. Liquid Air Corp., 37 F.3d 1069, 1075 (5th Cir. 1994)
(en banc); Sandin v. Conner, 115 S. Ct. 2293 (1995). We also
conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
severing and transferring Rose's claims arising out of events
that took place at the McConnell Unit, finding his RICO claims
legally frivolous, and denying his motion for appointment of
counsel.
The judgment is AFFIRMED.
