Before WIENER, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Anthony Hoston, Mississippi state prisoner # 76712, appeals
the magistrate judge’s decision to grant the Defendant’s motion
for judgment as a matter of law and dismiss Hoston’s 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 civil rights complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(c). On
appeal, Hoston re-urges the merits of his claim that the Sheriff
of Yazoo County, Buddy Passon, denied him adequate medical care
for a broken nose sustained during an altercation with another
inmate. Hoston has failed to identify any error in the
magistrate judge’s findings of fact or conclusions of law. See
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

Accordingly, the magistrate judge’s decision is AFFIRMED.
