Tommy Metcalf, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Tana Wood; Ronald Van Boening; Debra Sutton; Tim Gleason,defendants-appellants, 61 F.3d 911 (9th Cir. 1995)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 61 F.3d 911 (9th Cir. 1995) Submitted July 17, 1995. *Decided July 20, 1995

Before: FLETCHER, KOZINSKI, and THOMPSON, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM** 

Tana Wood, Superintendent of the Washington State Penitentiary, and Gregg Corn, Curio Supervisor at the Washington State Penitentiary, appeal the district court's order denying their motion for summary judgment based on qualified immunity in inmate Tommy Metcalf's action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Metcalf alleges that Corn violated Metcalf's constitutional rights by filing false infractions against Metcalf in retaliation for Metcalf's having filed grievances against Corn. Metcalf alleges that Wood violated Metcalf's constitutional rights by increasing Metcalf's sanctions for a prison infraction, in the course of hearing Metcalf's appeal from that infraction, in violation of the Washington Administrative Code.

Because the denial of the motion was based on the district court's determination that there exist genuine issues of fact for trial, we lack jurisdiction. See Johnson v. Jones, 132 L. Ed. 2d 238 (1995).

DISMISSED.
