Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rafael Vasquez, Texas prisoner #582839, appeals from the
district court’s dismissal of his civil rights complaint as
frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Vasquez
contends that the defendant-guard was deliberately indifferent to
his safety needs, in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have
reviewed the record and Vasquez’s brief, and we AFFIRM the
district court’s dismissal for essentially the same reasons
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
