judicial review of the issue before the time for compliance.
We count this as a loss beca use we were not successful in

Significant Activity: 09-24-1992 Order denies pethlon. It Is

In 1989.
Special Monitoring: 0, Not assigned to special mon~oring
Date Case Filed: 06-03-1991
Significant Activity: 11-13-1992 Order dismisses case
because the Un~ed States Is the only proper defendant in a
Federal Tort Claims Action (FTCA) and was not named.
Add~ ionally, even if the complaint was amended to include
the U.S., the action must fail because the claim Is barred by
28 U.S.C. 2680(c) which exempts the U.S. from liability from
FTCA for claims "arising in respect of ... the detention of any
goods ... by any ... law enforcement officer". The inmate's
claim in this case arises from the detention of his goods by
either the Bureau of Prisons or the Marshals Service. The
employees of both of these agencies qualify as law
enforcement officers. The Bivens portion of the case must
fail because negligent deprivation of property is not
actionable under the Due Process Clause.

JUSTICE, et al
Court: NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
Docket No.: 1:90-CV-1874-0DE; Type of Case: Mandamus;
Damages Req: 0
Subject: LAW LIBRARIES Institution: USP, Atlanta
Facts Nleged: At ATl since 1989 in Administrative
Detention, no access to law library materials. Cannot ask
for copies of cases because no access to digests to identify
cases. Also, violations of vls~lng policy, mingled with other
inmates w~h medical problems and refused BP9 forms.
Special Monitoring: 0, Not assigned to special monitoring
Date Case Filed: 09-07-1990
SIgnificant Activity: 11-24-1992 Order dismisses case.
Claims for Injunctive relief are moot because the inmate Is
no longer housed at USP, Atlanta. The DOJ and BOP
cannot be sued for damages ina Bivens action. The inmate
failed to plead his cause of action against the only remaining
defendant, Warden Matthews, with sufficient specificity.

Facts Nleged: Kicked by staff and denied medical care at
ATlon 04-17-1985
Special Monitoring : 0
Date Case Filed: 03-10-89
Significant Activity: 11-30-1992 Dismissed after non-jury trial
before Judge Camp. Since the filing of the complaint, the
Inmate had been repatriated to Cuba. Counsel appointed
for him was not able to contact him after repatriation. The
court found that the inmate's testimony presented by
depos~ion failed to show that the correctional officers had
beat him or caused him any Injury.
