    ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
    Before ANDERSON, BALDOCK, and BRORBY, Circuit Judges.
    After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
    unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this
    *
    This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of
    law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the
    citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under
    the terms and conditions of the court’s General Order filed November 29, 1993.

    appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir. R. 34.1.9. This cause is therefore ordered
    submitted without oral argument.
    Charles Michael Byers filed suit in the district court alleging constitutional claims
    arising from his incarceration as a federal prisoner. Specifically, Byers alleges damages
    based on 1) transfer to a higher security facility and denial of transfer to a prison camp or
    halfway house, 2) denial of meritorious good time credits, 3) denial of necessary medical
    and dental care, 4) exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, and 5) denial of $500
    release gratuities. We have reviewed the record in this case and, substantially for the
    reasons stated in the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation filed November 2,
    1993, and the district court’s order of dismissal filed June 28, 1995, we agree with the
    district court that Byers’ complaint fails to allege facts sufficient to state any
    constitutional claim.
    AFFIRMED.
