Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Georgia
_________________________
(July 7, 2006)
Before DUBINA, BLACK and HULL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Michael P. Murphy appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment
to Officer Courtney Johns in Murphy’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Murphy asserts
the district court erred in: (1) holding he had not exhausted his remedies under the
Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); (2) concluding an action
cannot be brought under § 1983 for violations of civil rights that are defined as
“torture” under 18 U.S.C. § 2340A; and (3) declining to exercise supplemental
jurisdiction over his remaining state law claims. After a de novo review of the
parties’ arguments and the record, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district
court’s well-reasoned February 13, 2006, Order granting Johns’ motion for
summary judgment.
AFFIRMED.
