Description

Order Fingal E. Johnson, a pro se Michigan prisoner, appeals the district court's summary judgment for the defendants in his civil rights action filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 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 briefs and the record, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Seeking declaratory, injunctive, and monetary relief, Johnson sued the director of the Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC) and two MDOC officers in their individual and official capacities. He alleged that his constitutional rights to due process and access to the courts were violated when defendant Keesler removed twelve oranges and three pounds of coffee from his cell in retaliation for Johnson's complaints and grievances against Keesler. He alleged that Keesler then distributed the items to other prisoners and wrote Johnson a minor misconduct ticket for possession of non-dangerous contraband. Johnson further alleged that defendant Atherton, conspiring with Keesler to violate Johnson's rights, held a disciplinary hearing in Johnson's absence and entered a guilty plea for him. Johnson claimed that when he learned of this action, Atherton refused to provide him with an appeal form. Finally, Johnson alleged that defendant Brown knew or should have known of the unconstitutional actions of the other two defendants and did nothing to discipline them.
