OPINION
FELIPE REYNA, Justice.
Prison inmate Damon Bankhead appeals from the dismissal of the health care liabil ity claim he filed against David T. Spence, a prison dentist. Bankhead contends in three issues that: (1) the court’s denial of his motion for appointed counsel constitutes a “due process/open courts violation”; (2) the expert report requirement of section 74.351 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code is an “exceptional circumstance” requiring the appointment of counsel; and (3) the dismissal of his claim denied him due process of law. We will affirm.
