Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. A-95-CV-744 ----------

October 28, 1996

Before DAVIS, EMILIO M. GARZA and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Debra Lynn Patmore, # 603941, appeals the dismissal of her civil rights complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(d). Patmore contends that when the defendants denied her parole review and release, they denied her due process and equal protection, that the Texas statutes in effect at the time that her offense was committed created a liberty interest in parole, that her

No. 96-50294 - 2 - parole was denied in violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause, that she was being forced to serve her sentence “two times over,” that she should be brought up for parole annually, and that her Eighth Amendment right against cruel and unusual punishment was violated when she was denied parole. We have reviewed the record and Patmore’s brief and AFFIRM the district court’s dismissal for essentially the same reasons set forth by the district court. Patmore v. Texas Bd. of Pardons and Paroles, No. A-95-CV-744 (W.D. Tex. April 8, 1996).
