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 42 U.S.C. § 1983 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, 20 F.3d 185, 186 (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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
