No. 90-5020.
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

Before NATHANIEL R. JONES and BOGGS, Circuit Judges, and GIBBONS, District Judge.*

ORDER

2
This pro se Kentucky prisoner appeals the district court's summary judgment dismissing his civil rights complaint filed under 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983.  The appeal has been referred to a panel of the court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.  The panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not necessary.  Fed.R.App.P. 34(a).

3
Jeffrey Drye claimed that defendants unlawfully deprived him of good-time credits.  Drye alleged that evidence of misconduct was insufficient to support a finding of guilt on a charge of assaulting a corrections officer and that he was charged with too severe an offense.

4
Upon review, we conclude that summary judgment was proper.  Fed.R.Civ.P. 56;  Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317 (1986).  The evidence was sufficient to support a finding of guilt on the disciplinary charge.   See Superintendent, Mass.  Correctional Inst. v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455-56 (1985).  Drye's claim that he was charged with too severe an offense also lacks merit.   See Turney v. Scroggy, 831 F.2d 135, 140 (6th Cir.1987).

5
Accordingly, the district court's judgment is hereby affirmed.  Rule 9(b)(5), Rules of the Sixth Circuit.
