Before FAGG, BOWMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges

                                    ___________

PER CURIAM.


       James J. Hanrahan appeals from the District Court's1 grant of summary
judgment to defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action.           Having
carefully reviewed the entire record and the parties' submissions, we
reject as unsubstantiated Hanrahan's claim of judicial bias, and we affirm
for the reasons stated in the magistrate judge's opinion.      See 8th Cir. R.
47B.




       1
      The Honorable Raymond L. Erickson, United States Magistrate
Judge for the District of Minnesota, to whom the case was referred
for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
A true copy.


     Attest:


           CLERK, U. S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
