No. 91-8031 Summary Calendar.

940 F.2d 114 (1991)

Derek VINSON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Glenn HECKMANN, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.

May 22, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Derek Lee Vinson, pro se.

Eric M. Sheppard, Jo Anne Bernal, Asst. Attys. Gen., and Don Morehart, Austin, Tex., for defendant-appellee.

Before POLITZ, DAVIS and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

Derek Vinson, an inmate in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, sued Glenn Heckmann, Director of the Texas Board of Paroles and Pardons. The district court dismissed Vinson's § 1983 suit as containing only conclusory allegations. Vinson appeals both the district court's dismissal of his suit and the district court's refusal to appoint him counsel. We affirm and impose sanctions on Vinson for filing a frivolous appeal.
