ORDER AND JUDGMENT1

1
Plaintiff brought a Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971), action against the The United States Marshals Service and a U.S. Marshal.  Plaintiff was housed in holdover status at the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth for nearly two years.  The complaint asserted that he was being held in solitary confinement in violation of the Eighth Amendment allegedly to coerce a guilty plea or cooperation.  The government filed a comprehensive Martinez report pursuant to the district court order.  See Martinez v. Aaron, 570 F.2d 317 (10th Cir.1978).  Plaintiff appeals from the district court's order of dismissal in favor of the defendants.  We grant plaintiff's motion for leave to proceed on appeal without prepayment of costs and fees.

2
We have reviewed the briefs and the record and are satisfied that the district court accurately summarized the facts and correctly applied the law.  We cannot add significantly to the analysis of the district court in its order of December 29, 1993, and therefore AFFIRM for substantially the reasons stated therein.

3
AFFIRMED.

4
The mandate shall issue forthwith.
