US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 89 F.3d 846 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted April 22, 1996. *Decided April 29, 1996

Before: HALL, THOMPSON, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM^**

Cornelio Jesus Tristan, a California state prisoner housed at Pelican Bay State Prison, appeals pro se the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action as frivolous and the denial of his Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to vacate the dismissal. He contends that prison officials were deliberately indifferent to his serious medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment when they failed to treat his eye condition. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's well-reasoned orders filed May 28, 1994 and September 25, 1995.

AFFIRMED.

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir.R. 34-4

This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as provided by 9th Cir.R. 36-3
