Description

Texas prisoner Joseph Norton appeals the district court's dismissal as frivolous of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint alleging that the deliberate indifference of the prison staff to his medical needs violated his Eighth Amendment rights. He also asserts that the fee provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act violate his right of access to the courts, that the district court abused its discretion by employing irregular procedures in deciding his case, that the court must provide him a copy of the transcript from his in forma pauperis hearing, and that the district court erred by denying his motion for counsel. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
