Fuerte v. Owens

334 F. App'x 689
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided June 25, 2009·No. 08-10671·Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Antonio Fuerte, Jr., Texas inmate # 01341702, appeals the dismissal of his pro se, in forma pauperis, civil rights complaint filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against individual members of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles (the Board). The district court dismissed Fuerte’s complaint for failure to state a claim for which relief can be granted.

Fuerte’s argument that he is entitled to injunctive and declaratory relief on claims surrounding the Board’s ruling that he was not entitled to mandatory supervision release fails to state a due process violation. See Greenholtz v. Inmates of Nebraska Penal and Corr. Complex, 442 U.S. 1, 15-16, 99 S.Ct. 2100, 60 L.Ed.2d 668 (1979); Boss v. Quarterman, 552 F.3d 425, 428-29 (5th Cir.2008); Coleman v. Dretke, 395 F.3d 216, 224 (5th Cir.2004). Accordingly, the district court did not err when it dismissed his complaint for failure to state a claim. See Cornish v. Corr. Servs. Corp., 402 F.3d 545, 549 (5th Cir.2005).

AFFIRMED.
