Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 911 F.2d 731 (6th Cir. 1990) Aug. 22, 1990

Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and BOGGS, Circuit Judges, and GIBBONS, District Judge.* 

ORDER

This pro se Kentucky prisoner appeals the district court's summary judgment dismissing his civil rights complaint filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. The panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not necessary. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Jeffrey Drye claimed that defendants unlawfully deprived him of good-time credits. Drye alleged that evidence of misconduct was insufficient to support a finding of guilt on a charge of assaulting a corrections officer and that he was charged with too severe an offense.

Upon review, we conclude that summary judgment was proper. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56; Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317 (1986). The evidence was sufficient to support a finding of guilt on the disciplinary charge. See Superintendent, Mass. Correctional Inst. v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455-56 (1985). Drye's claim that he was charged with too severe an offense also lacks merit. See Turney v. Scroggy, 831 F.2d 135, 140 (6th Cir. 1987).

Accordingly, the district court's judgment is hereby affirmed. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
