Michael P. MURPHY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Michelle MARTIN, et al., Defendants, Officer Johns, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 06-11150
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    D.C. Docket No. 05-00301-CY-BBM-1.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    July 7, 2006.
    McNeill Stokes, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Annarita McGovern Busbee, Seacrest, Karesh, Tate & Bicknese, LLP, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellee.
    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.
