 Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit - 89 F.3d 846 (9th Cir. 1996) Submitted April 22, 1996. *Decided April 29, 1996

Before: HALL, THOMPSON, and RYMER, Circuit Judges.

MEMORANDUM** 

Robert E. Shepard, a/k/a Shep, a Washington state prisoner, appeals pro se the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of prison officials in Shepard's 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Shepard alleged that prison officials violated his First Amendment right to free expression and access to the courts by refusing to allow him to sign in at the prison law library solely under the name of "Shep." We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and, having considered all of Shepard's contentions on appeal, we affirm for the reasons set forth in the district court's order filed September 6, 1995.

AFFIRMED.
