Description

Order Richard Johnson appeals a judgment of the district court dismissing his civil rights action. He now moves for the appointment of counsel. Based upon a review of the record and briefs, this panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Johnson, an inmate at the Jackson State Prison, filed a complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981, 1983, 1985 and 1986 and the District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In support of his request for monetary damages, injunctive relief and a declaratory judgment, he alleged that defendants were responsible for the adoption of a prison policy directive regarding meals served to inmates in administrative segregation. Specifically, Johnson maintained that the challenged policy directive, PD-BCF-55.04, allowed prison officials to place any inmate in administrative segregation found to have misused his food or eating utensils on a diet consisting solely of a substance known as food loaf. Johnson maintained that such a policy was in conflict with a state administrative regulation specifying that prisoners could not be deprived of normal meals as a disciplinary or punitive sanction and that a diet exclusively of food loaf constituted cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment. Finally, Johnson also alleged that defendants had violated this right to due process as he was placed on a food loaf diet on numerous occasions without the provision of a hearing mandated by PD-BCF-50.44.
