Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, KING and SMITH, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Texas prisoner Eddie Tyler, No. 535926, appeals the
dismissal of his suit pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(i).

need. See Mendoza v. Lynaugh, 989 F.2d 191, 193-94 (5th Cir.
1993); Jackson v. Cain, 864 F.2d 1235, 1246 (5th Cir. 1989).
Tyler’s conclusional allegations that the defendants conspired to
retaliate against him fail to state a claim under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. Babb v. Dorman, 33 F.3d 472, 476 (5th Cir. 1994).
Tyler has moved the court for a preliminary injunction;
filed four motions to supplement his appellate brief; and
requested that the court appoint appellate counsel, order entry
of his exhibits, and allow “final arguments.” He asks that a
panel of the court review his x-rays, and he has filed a motion
concerning jurisdiction which does not request any form of
relief. The foregoing motions are DENIED.
AFFIRMED. MOTIONS DENIED.
