                 Per Curiam.   Pro se plaintiff  William Ferguson appeals
                 __________    ___ __

            the dismissal of his third civil rights complaint against the

            present defendants.   Having thoroughly  reviewed the  record

            and  Ferguson's  brief  on  appeal,  we  are  persuaded  that

            Ferguson's  complaint  was  properly  dismissed  as frivolous

            within  the meaning of 28 U.S.C.   1915(d).  Accordingly, the

            judgment of the district court is affirmed.   See Local  Rule
                                              _________   ___
