Description
BEFORE: KEITH and BOGGS, Circuit Judges; and CELEBREZZE, Senior Circuit Judge Privett appeals pro se from the district court's order dismissing his action under 42 U.S.C. Γ§ 1983. This appeal has been referred to a panel of the Court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. After examining the record and the briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Rule 34, Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. In his complaint, Privett, then a prisoner at the Morgan County Regional Correctional Facility in Wartburg, Tennessee, alleged that the defendants, prison officials, violated his right of access to the courts by denying him access to the law library, by denying him legal writing supplies, and by denying him adequate, free photocopying services. The district court held that Privett did not have a constitutional right to typewriter ribbons or unlimited stationery supplies and that his claim that the cost of photocopying reduces his income below an acceptable level for personal maintainance does not rise to the level of a constitutional claim, and the court found that his allegation that he was denied access to the prison law library was conclusory. The district court ordered that Privett must amend his complaint to state a cause of action or the action would be dismissed. Privett filed a motion for leave to amend his complaint and filed an amended complaint. The motion was granted but the action was dismissed for failure to state a cause of action. Privett appeals from the order of dismissal.
