JOHN T. HILLIS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,

KYLES S. MORRISON,
Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
(2:02-CV-207)
________________________________________________________________
March 18, 2003
Before JONES, STEWART and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM, Circuit Judge:*
The district court dismissed this legal malpractice
action for want of federal subject matter jurisdiction. This
dismissal was plainly correct because Hillis does not allege
diverse citizenship between him and attorney Kyle Morrision nor
does he allege a sufficient amount in controversy.

The appeal is frivolous, see Fifth Civ. Local Rule 42.2,
