Leonard Renal Roberts, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Mary Bears, et al., Defendants-appellees, 81 F.3d 173 (10th Cir. 1996)

 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit - 81 F.3d 173 (10th Cir. 1996) April 4, 1996

Before BRORBY, EBEL, and HENRY, Circuit Judges.

ORDER AND JUDGMENT* 

Plaintiff-appellant Leonard Renal Roberts appeals in forma pauperis the granting of summary judgment for defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action brought pro se against several prison officials.1  His action is based upon the strip search of some family members who came to visit him in prison and certain disciplinary actions taken by prison officials which he claims were in retaliation for filing a grievance and exercising his right to practice his religion.

The district court issued a thorough, well-drafted order granting summary judgment to the defendants. We see little reason to add to this order, and almost no chance of improving upon it. Consequently, we AFFIRM for substantially the same reasons given by the district court in its order of September 26, 1995. The mandate shall issue forthwith.

 *

This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3
