Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF RHODE ISLAND

[Hon. Ernest C. Torres, U.S. District Judge]

Before

Torruella, Chief Judge,

Selya and Stahl, Circuit Judges.



George C. Ramsdell on brief pro se.

Michael B. Grant, Acting Deputy Chief, on Motion for Summary

Affirmance for appellees.

August 28, 2000

Per Curiam. Appellant George Ramsdell appeals from

the dismissal of his civil rights complaint under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. We affirm the dismissal essentially for the reasons

given by the magistrate judge in his report and

recommendation dated June 2, 1999, which the district court

accepted as its decision, except that we affirm dismissal of

Ramsdell's due process and equal protection claims under

Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), and Edwards v.

Balisok, 520 U.S. 641 (1997).

The decision of the district court is affirmed,

except that the judgment is modified to be without prejudice

relative to the due process and equal protection claims.

See Loc. R. 27(c).(1)

1. We grant appellant's request to supplement his initial

brief and deny his request for oral argument.
