Defendants - Appellees
-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas USDC No. 9:96-CV-111 -------------------- September 26, 2000 Before KING, Chief Judge, and SMITH and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Anthony Chaney (“Chaney”), Texas state prisoner #656210, filed a pro se lawsuit, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that numerous prison officials violated his constitutional rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. The district court
* 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
No. 99-41020 -2-
granted the defendants’ motions for summary judgment and dismissed Chaney’s claims.
We have reviewed the briefs and the record. We have not reviewed the amended complaint in case number 9:96-CV-138 because it is not part of the record. See Sweet Life v. Dole, 876 F.2d 402, 408 (5th Cir. 1989). We conclude that granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants was correct for essentially the same reasons set forth by the district court in its comprehensive opinions. See Chaney v. Witterstaetter, No. 9:96-CV-111 (E.D. Tex. June 29, 1999); Chaney v. Witterstaetter, No. 9:96-CV-111 (E.D. Tex. August 5, 1999). Chaney’s motion for the appointment of counsel on appeal is DENIED.
AFFIRMED; MOTION DENIED.
