Description
STEVENS, Circuit Judge. Appellant contends that his constitutionally protected interests in privacy and property were violated by a ""shakedown"" search of his prison cell which resulted in the loss of his trial transcript. He asserts a federal right to recover damages on three different theories: (1) that the transcript was taken during the conduct of a search which violated the Fourth Amendment; (2) that the taking of the transcript was a deprivation of property prohibited by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; and (3) that the defendants1 interfered with his access to the courts protected by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments.2 Since we conclude that his claims are not entirely without merit, we reverse the summary judgment entered by the district court and remand for trial.
