Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 838 F.2d 470 (6th Cir. 1988) Feb. 3, 1988

Before MILBURN and RALPH B. GUY, Jr., Circuit Judges, and CONTIE, Senior Circuit 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 record and briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not necessary. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

This pro se plaintiff appeals the district court's judgment adopting, over plaintiff's timely objections, the magistrate's report recommending dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights complaint. Upon review, we conclude the district court properly dismissed the complaint.

Plaintiff sued two judges, various court officials and three private citizens alleging that they frustrated his right to jury trial during an eviction proceeding in contravention of Ohio Rev.Code Sec. 1923.10. Plaintiff failed to state a claim cognizable under Sec. 1983 because this alleged deprivation of a claimed liberty interest without due process was the result of a random and unauthorized act and he failed to plead and prove the inadequacy of the state's correctional process. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 531-33 (1984); Joyce v. Mavromatis, 783 F.2d 56 (6th Cir. 1986); Bacon v. Patera, 772 F.2d 259, 264 (6th Cir. 1985).

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