Description
Plaintiff-appellant Norman E. Tedder (Tedder) appeals pro se from the district courts grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants Edward Odel (Odel) and James S. McAlister (McAlister). Tedder brought an action under 42 U.S.C. ? 1983 and ? 1985(3) alleging that McAlister, an assistant attorney general for the state of Oregon, told Odel, an officer at the Oregon State Penitentiary, not to honor a subpoena to testify in a civil rights case Tedder had filed against another prison guard. The district court held that because the subpoena was invalid, McAlisters advice and Odels failure to appear as a witness cannot be the basis for any liability. We affirm.
