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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
