            Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Eastern District of Texas
                         USDC No. 6:98-CV-545

                            January 3, 2000

Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Robert L. Rudolph, Texas prisoner # 325362, appeals the

district court’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights

action as frivolous and for failure to state a claim upon which

relief may be granted pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) &

(ii).    Rudolph argues that the defendants denied him adequate

medical care and adequate pain medication for a back injury.      A

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 99-40213
                                 -2-

review of Rudolph’s allegations indicates that Rudolph received

extensive medical treatment for his back injury, prescription

pain medication, instructions to perform back exercises, and a

cane to assist him in walking.   Because he received extensive

medical treatment, Rudolph has not shown that the defendants were

deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs.     See

Reeves v. Collins, 

, 176-77 (5th Cir. 1994).

Rudolph’s disagreement with his medical treatment or with the

particular prescription pain medication he was given does not

constitute a constitutional violation.      See Varnado v. Lynaugh,

, 321 (5th Cir. 1991).   The district court did not

err in holding that Rudolph’s denial-of-medical-care claim fails

to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).    See Black v. Warren, 

, 734 (5th

Cir. 1998).   The district court also did not abuse its discretion

in dismissing this claim as frivolous under § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

See Siglar v. Hightower, 

, 193 (5th Cir. 1997).

     Rudolph also argues that his work assignments caused him to

suffer undue pain.   However, Rudolph has not named as a defendant

his work supervisor or the official responsible for making his

work assignments.    Further, he has not shown that he was required

to perform any specific duties which were inconsistent with any

specific medical restrictions.    See Jackson v. Cain, 

, 1246 (5th Cir. 1989).   Even if officials negligently

required him to perform a duty which was inconsistent with

particular medical restrictions, such negligence does not amount

to a constitutional violation.    See 

district
                           No. 99-40213
                                -3-

court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Rudolph’s claim

concerning his work assignment as frivolous under

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(i) and did not err in dismissing the claim for

failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted under

§ 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).   The motions filed by Rudolph are DENIED.

     AFFIRMED.
