Description

In this prisoner civil rights claim brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, Appellant Robert Smith appeals from decisions of the District Court dismissing portions of his complaint for failure to state a claim and granting summary judgment in favor of Appellees Janice Buchanan and Kay Winkler on the remaining claims. Smith claims that the Appellees violated his constitutional rights when he was transferred from minimum security status at the Northeast Correctional Center to a maximum security status at the West Tennessee High Security Facility. According to Smith, the Appellees violated his First Amendment rights because they transferred him in retaliation for the grievances he filed against prison officials. Smith argues on appeal that the District Court erred by dismissing a portion of his claims for failure to state a claim and by granting summary judgment on the remainder of the claims. For the reasons that follow, this Court affirms the District Court.
