No. 92-1875.

United States Court of Appeals,
Eighth Circuit.

Submitted: May 6, 1992.
Filed: June 15, 1992.

Before MCMILLIAN, BOWMAN, and WOLLMAN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

Paul Michael Blaise appeals from the order of the district court1 dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint as frivolous. We affirm.

2

Blaise is serving a prison sentence imposed after he pled guilty to charges of molesting a nine-year-old girl. He alleges in his complaint that defendant prison officials have violated his constitutional rights by making remarks to him about his supposed affinity for young girls.

3

We have carefully reviewed the record in this case and find that Blaise's allegations are frivolous. An allegation that a prisoner has suffered emotional harm resulting only in bruised feelings does not state a constitutional violation. See Wyatt v. Delaney, 818 F.2d 21, 23 (1987).

4

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. Rule 47B.

The Honorable Charles R. Wolle, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Iowa
