Heading: Destruction of Magazine and Withholding of Polaroid Photos by Henderson

Text: 6 Plaintiff alleges that defendant Henderson retaliated against plaintiff by destroying one of his adult magazines, withholding polaroid photos, and otherwise tampering with his mail. Henderson averred that she did not destroy the magazine, but removed the staples to open the centerfold and search for contraband. She also testified that she rejected the polaroids for security reasons pursuant to prison policy. Plaintiff presented no evidence to rebut defendant's assertions. The conclusory allegation made in his verified complaint does not raise a genuine issue of fact because it is not based on personal knowledge. Moore v. Holbrook, 2 F.3d 697, 699 (6th Cir.1993). Thus, no genuine issue of fact exists and summary judgment was properly granted.
