Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Texas
USDC No. 3:98-CV-1153-H
--------------------
October 19, 1999
Before JONES, SMITH, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Terry James, Texas prisoner No. 337449, appeals the district
court’s dismissal, as frivolous, of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil
rights claim. The district court did not abuse its discretion in
holding that James’ claim for damages against defendant Toby
Shook was barred by the doctrine of prosecutorial immunity. See
Boyd v. Biggers,
31 F.3d 279, 285 (5th Cir. 1994). James’
remaining claims are barred by the doctrine articulated in Heck
v. Humphrey,
512 U.S. 477 (1994). See Hudson v. Hughes,
98 F.3d
868, 872 (5th Cir. 1996).

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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