Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit - 859 F.2d 153 (6th Cir. 1988) Sept. 27, 1988

Before WELLFORD and BOGGS, Circuit Judges and JOHN W. PECK, Senior Circuit Judge.


ORDER

Bruce Wesselman appeals the judgment of the district court dismissing his action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 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 certified record and briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).

Wesselman claimed defendants violated his rights to procedural due process and subjected him to cruel and unusual punishment when they placed him in administrative segregation and transferred him to another prison as a security risk.

The district court granted defendants summary judgment for Wesselman's failure to demonstrate the existence of a genuine issue of material fact. We affirm. Wesselman received all the process due him under the circumstances of this case. See Olim v. Wakinekona, 461 U.S. 238, 245 (1983); Hewitt v. Helms, 459 U.S. 460, 476 (1983).

We accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court for the reasons stated in its memorandum opinion of October 14, 1987. Rule 9(b) (5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
