Description

Plaintiff Milton Eugene Cupit appeals an order by the district court granting defendants' motion for summary judgment and dismissing Cupit's section 1983 civil rights claim against Richland Parish prison officials with prejudice. In entering its order, the district court relied on the report and recommendation of the magistrate prepared after an evidentiary hearing was conducted on Cupit's claim. On appeal, Cupit alleges that the district court's decision was not warranted by the evidence, and that he was improperly denied appointment of counsel. Furthermore, Cupit alleges that the magistrate erred in denying his request that subpoenas be issued for several witnesses and that certain jail documents be produced. Having considered the record before us, we reject Cupit's contentions and affirm.
