Edward Smith v. Bastrop Med Clinic, P.A., Inc., et, 465 F. App'x 389 (5th Cir. 2012)
Reavley, Smith, Prado

Edward Smith v. Bastrop Med Clinic, P.A., Inc., et

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Edward Smith claims the defendants denied him pain medication. He sues under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, but the defendants are private persons and not state actors. Even assuming that Smith has adequately briefed an issue in his pro se brief, he has not stated a claim upon which relief may be granted.

The district court properly dismissed, and the judgment is AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
