Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. H-98-CV-3086
--------------------
August 22, 2000
Before KING, Chief Judge, and POLITZ and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Sylvester Wright appeals the district court’s dismissal of
his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit against the Sheriff of Harris County, a
court clerk, and a deputy. He argues that the district court
erred in dismissing his suit without giving Wright notice of
intent to dismiss or a hearing pursuant to Spears v. McCotter,
766 F.2d 179 (5th Cir. 1985).
The district court did not err in dismissing Wright’s suit.
Even if Wright’s “motion to stop harassment and threats” is
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

viewed as a supplemental pleading, this motion, Wright’s original
complaint, and Wright’s appellate brief demonstrate no set of
facts under which Wright could obtain relief against the named
defendants. See Black v. Warren, 134 F.3d 732, 733-34 (5th Cir.
1998); Barrientos v. Reliance Standard Life Ins. Co., 911 F.2d
1115, 1116 (5th Cir. 1990). Consequently, Wright’s motion for
appointment of counsel is DENIED and the judgment of the district
court is AFFIRMED.
