Federal District: 
S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing plaintiff-prisoner's Bivens complaint alleging that defendants-prison officials violated his right to access to courts by restricting his access to prison library during prosecution of his underlying section 1983 claim. Plaintiff failed to establish any prejudice arising out of restrictions placed on him where he was able to file several substantive motions in underlying section 1983 proceeding in spite of said restrictions, and where plaintiff failed to allege any actual injury arising out of any lack of access to prison library.
