October 5, 1998
Before EMILIO M. GARZA, DeMOSS and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Juan Jorge Sanchez, Texas prisoner § 577512, argues that the
magistrate judge erred in determining that the defendants were
entitled to the defense of qualified immunity based on a clearly
erroneous determination that the defendants had not employed the
excessive use of force against Sanchez at the time of the
incident.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 98-40114
-2-
We have reviewed the record provided by Sanchez, including
the magistrate judge’s order and reasons for dismissing Sanchez’s
claims and the briefs of the parties, and AFFIRM the dismissal of
Sanchez’s complaint substantially for the reasons relied upon by
the magistrate judge. See Sanchez v. Perez, No. C-94-CV-180
(S.D. Tex.; Oct. 30, 1997).
We have also determined that the magistrate judge did not
abuse his discretion in denying Sanchez’s motion for appointment
of counsel. See Ulmer v. Chancellor, 691 F.2d 209, 212 (5th Cir.
1982).
AFFIRMED.
