Henry J. WILSON, Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
Al BUDNEY, Sr., Defendant-Appellee.
No. 92-2152.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fifth Circuit.
Nov. 9, 1992.
Henry J. Wilson, pro se.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
Before DUHE, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
A prison inmate does not have a protectable liberty or property interest in his custodial classification. Moody v. Baker, 857 F.2d 256" date_filed="1988-09-19" court="5th Cir." case_name="Cordell Moody v. J.O. Baker">857 F.2d 256, 257-58 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 985" date_filed="1988-12-05" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Black v. Robinson">488 U.S. 985, 109 S. Ct. 540" date_filed="1988-12-05" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Regan v. New Jersey">109 S.Ct. 540, 102 L. Ed. 2d 570" date_filed="1988-12-05" court="SCOTUS" case_name="Sellner v. Prince George's County">102 L.Ed.2d 570 (1988). Henry J. Wilson's disagreement with his medical classification is insufficient to establish a constitutional violation. Varnado v. Lynaugh, 920 F.2d 320" date_filed="1991-01-09" court="5th Cir." case_name="Edward Charles Varnado v. James A. Lynaugh, Director, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division">920 F.2d 320, 321 (5th Cir.1991). The State was not required to permit Wilson, a mental patient, to attend classes and religious services with the general prison population. See Green v. McKaskle, 788 F.2d 1116" date_filed="1986-05-05" court="5th Cir." case_name="Isiah Carl Green v. Dan v. McKaskle Acting Director, Texas Department of Corrections">788 F.2d 1116, 1125 (5th Cir.1986).
Wilson's allegations of a conspiracy are merely conclusional and do not support an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Hale v. Harney, 786 F.2d 688" date_filed="1986-04-07" court="5th Cir." case_name="Ronal Hale v. Honorable Naomi Harney">786 F.2d 688, 690 (5th Cir.1986) (citations omitted). His claim that he has received threats as a result of an allegedly false statement in his medical records also fails to state a constitutional violation. Emmons v. McLaughlin, 874 F.2d 351" date_filed="1989-06-30" court="6th Cir." case_name="Douglas Emmons v. Robert McLaughlin Donald Ratliff, Gary Dewalt, City of Norwalk, Reese Wineman">874 F.2d 351, 353 (6th Cir.1989). The district court did not abuse its discretion when it dismissed Wilson's in forma pauperis complaint as frivolous. See Ancar v. Sara Plasma, Inc., 964 F.2d 465" date_filed="1992-06-30" court="5th Cir." case_name="Gralyn A. Ancar v. Sara Plasma, Inc.">964 F.2d 465, 468 (5th Cir.1992).
AFFIRMED.
