Description
MAGILL, Circuit Judge Clark Lee Smith appeals from the district court's1 order sua sponte dismissing his 42 U.S.C. ร§ 1983 claims against defendants under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). We affirm. Smith was a pretrial detainee at the St. Louis Municipal Jail. He filed a pro se complaint claiming that between December 1988 and May 1989, jail officials violated his civil rights by (1) tampering with his mail; (2) harassing him in retaliation for his complaints about jail conditions; (3) denying him meaningful access to the courts; and (4) denying him social services afforded other prisoners.
