this American Inmate in administrative detention with Cuban
Detainees in Alpha Unit just prior to the 1991 hostage

indication they were a threat to the Inmate plaintiff. He did
not suffer any physlcallojurles. Even If the t'John Doe"
correctional officer was negligent In failing to secure the
gate to the recreation area, mere negligence will not support
a clvH rights action. The decision not to allow food or

Eighth Amendment violation. It was a good faith effort to
