SUMMARY ORDER
This cause came on to be heard on the transcript of record from the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York, and was submitted by plaintiff-appellant pro se and by counsel for defendants-appellees.
ON CONSIDERATION WHEREOF, it is now hereby ordered, adjudged, and decreed that the judgment of said District Court be and it hereby is affirmed substantially for the reasons stated in Judge Baer's Order and Opinion dated March 15, 1995. In addition, we note that proof of negligence would not suffice to establish a deprivation of due process, see, e.g., Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327 (1986); Davidson v. Cannon, 474 U.S. 344 (1986), and that the record provides no basis for an inference that nondelivery of the letter in question was the result of any intentional wrongdoing, rather than negligence.
We have considered all of plaintiff's contentions on this appeal and have found them to be without merit. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
