June 25, 1996
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Rodney Lee Woods, #627825, appeals the magistrate judge's
dismissal, without prejudice, of his claims against Joe V. Young,
Warden, French Robertson Unit, Texas Department of Criminal Justice
in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights suit. Woods argues that the
magistrate judge abused his discretion in dismissing his claims
against Young on the ground that Woods failed to show the personal
involvement of Young in the cause of action. The court's
dismissal, without prejudice, of Woods' claims against Young
afforded Woods the opportunity to file an amended complaint
*
Pursuant to Local Rule 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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 Local Rule
47.5.4.

against Young as frivolous pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). Booker
v. Koonce, 2 F.3d 114, 115 (5th Cir. 1993).
