Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Donald Wayne Hull, Texas prisoner # 673637, seeks to appeal

the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendants and

its dismissal with prejudice of his

complaint

alleging deliberate indifference to his serious medical needs and

wrongful housing placement with inmates of a higher security

classification. However, Hull’s notice of appeal was untimely.

This court therefore lacks jurisdiction over this appeal, and it

is hereby dismissed. See Dison v. Whitley,

(5th

Cir. 1994).

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 99-40984 -2-

APPEAL DISMISSED.
