US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 843 F.2d 1391 (6th Cir. 1988) March 31, 1988

Before LIVELY, Chief Judge, RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judge, and AVERN COHN, District Judge.* 

ORDER

This case has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination of the briefs and record, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Plaintiff filed the instant consolidated civil rights actions under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 while an inmate at the Pickaway [Ohio] Correctional Institution. Plaintiff complained of denial of his right to access to the courts by various prison officials following a policy of not providing unlimited free postage for non-indigent inmates and by denying to plaintiff indigent status. The district court ultimately granted summary judgment for all defendants and this appeal followed. On appeal the parties have briefed the issues, plaintiff proceeding pro se.

Upon consideration, we affirm for the reasons set forth in the district court opinion and order filed August 12, 1987. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.

The Honorable Avern Cohn, U.S. District Judge for the Eastern District of Michigan, sitting by designation
