Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 4:97-CV-138-B-D
--------------------
January 27, 2000
Before JOLLY, JONES, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Donnie Singleton, Mississippi prisoner #44446, appeals the
dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint as frivolous pursuant
to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i). Singleton argues that the
Mississippi Department of Corrections was without authority to
adjudicate his rule violation reports (RVR) for possession of
money orders and that his conviction on the RVRs was not
supported by the evidence. He contends further that his right

against double jeopardy was violated by his being both criminally
prosecuted and administratively disciplined for his possession of
the money orders. Singleton also complains of the loss of earned
good-time credit as a result of the disciplinary conviction. We
have reviewed the record and find no error in the judgment of the
district court. Siglar v. Hightower, 112 F.3d 191, 193 (5th Cir.
1997).
Singleton also challenges his yearly classification reviews
and argues that his parole eligibility was miscalculated. These
claims were not raised in the district court, and they may not be
raised here for the first time. Leverette v. Louisville Ladder
Co., 183 F.3d 339, 342 (5th Cir. 1999).
AFFIRMED.
