Unpublished Disposition
NOTICE: Tenth Circuit Rule 36.3 states that unpublished
opinions and orders and judgments have no precedential value
and shall not be cited except for purposes of establishing the
doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral
estoppel.
Clovis Carl GREEN, Jr., Plaintiff-Appellant,
v.
WARDEN, FEDERAL CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION,
Englewood,
Colorado, and L.E. DuBois, Regional Director,
Federal Bureau of Prisons, Defendants-Appellees.
No. 90-1234.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination
of this appeal. See Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The case is therefore
ordered submitted without oral argument.
Clovis Carl Green, Jr., appeals the dismissal of his complaint under 42 U.S.C.
Sec. 1983 alleging that the appellees, the Warden of the Federal Correction
Institution at Englewood, Colorado, and Mr. DuBois, Regional Director of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons, violated Mr. Green's constitutional rights.
The United States Magistrate Judge concluded that the complaint failed to state
a claim and recommended that it be dismissed. In papers filed after the
magistrate judge's recommendation, Mr. Green stated that he no longer wished
to be transferred to Englewood, but he still wanted monetary damages for denial
of the transfer. On de novo review, the district court adopted the
recommendation of the magistrate judge and dismissed the complaint. This
appeal followed.
The appellees have filed a motion to supplement the record with a copy of
Federal Bureau of Prisons Policy Statement 5100.2 CN-8 Sec. 4(C). The
motion is hereby GRANTED.
Mr. Green also claims a liberty interest in the transfer which, he claims, was
denied without due process of law. Mr. Green was reclassified from a Security
Level 4 prisoner to a Security Level 3 prisoner. He claims that under prison
policies he has a right to be housed in a Level 3 prison, such as Englewood,
rather than in a Level 4 prison, such as Oxford. He refers specifically to Federal
Bureau of Prisons Policy Statement 5100.2 CN-8 Sec. 4, which states in
pertinent part:

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED. The mandate shall issue
forthwith.
This order and judgment has no precedential value and shall not be cited, or
used by any court within the Tenth Circuit, except for purposes of establishing
the doctrines of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel. 10th
