Unpublished Dispositionallen R. Phipps, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Calvin R. Edwards, Michael A. Misiak, and Sam Durham,defendants-appellees, 840 F.2d 17 (6th Cir. 1988)

ORDER

This federal prisoner, pro se on appeal, appeals the district court's judgment dismissing his Bivens -type suit against certain officials at the Federal Correctional Institute at Milan, Michigan. See Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). The 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 the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Plaintiff sued the warden, a case manager, and a correctional counselor at the Milan prison. He alleged that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by refusing to allow him to place an unmonitored telephone call to his attorney. The district court dismissed the suit for failure to state a claim.

Upon review, we conclude that the district court properly dismissed this action for the reasons stated in its May 27, 1987 memorandum and order.

Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
