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

October 17, 2000
Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Paul Sturgeon, Texas prisoner # 689133, challenges the
district court’s dismissal of his civil rights action under Heck
v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477 (1994), and Edwards v. Balisok, 520
U.S. 641 (1997). He has failed to show the denial of a
constitutional right. See Madison v. Parker, 104 F.3d 765, 767-
68 (5th Cir. 1997); Malchi v. Thaler, 211 F.3d 953, 958-59 (5th
Cir. 2000). Because Sturgeon has failed to show that the

the judgment is AFFIRMED.
Sturgeon has also filed motions for the appointment of
counsel on appeal and for leave to file a supplemental brief.
These motions are DENIED.
JUDGMENT AFFIRMED; MOTIONS FOR APPOINTMENT OF COUNSEL AND
LEAVE TO FILE A SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEF DENIED.
