No. 96-40950 Conference Calendar WILLIE R. HOUSTON, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus WESLEY WARNER, Warden; S. BEMBERY; S. LOWE; BELIA MENDIOLA; LESLIE WOODS, Defendants-Appellees. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. C-93-CV-367 December 10, 1997 Before BARKSDALE, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: * Willie Houston, Texas prisoner #629532, appeals from the magistrate judge§ 1983; see 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). Houston argues that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs when, on several occasions, they refused to issue him his medication. We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties, and we affirm the judgment for essentially the same reasons set forth in the magistrate judgeÂ’s decision. See Houston v. Warner et al. , No. C-93-367 (S.D. Tex.

Jul. 26, 1996); see also 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(e)(stating that no federal civil action may be brought by a prisoner for mental or emotional injury without a prior showing of physical injury).

AFFIRMED.

No. 96-40950
