After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Mr. G. George Finley, Jr. filed this pro se action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the Colorado Department of Corrections and several state officials violated his Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. The district court dismissed Mr. Finley's complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C.1915(d). Mr. Finley then filed this timely appeal.¹ 

The Eighth Amendment requires that Mr. Finley "allege acts or omissions sufficiently harmful to evidence deliberate indifference to serious medical needs." Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106 (1976). We have reviewed the record and Mr. Finley's assertions. While we are sympathetic to Mr. Finley's medical needs, we are not persuaded the district court erred.² 

Accordingly, we AFFIRM substantially for the reasons given by the the district court.

The mandate shall issue forthwith.
