Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit May 9, 1986, 84-2239 (Andrew Lee Jackson v. Raymond K. Procunier, Director, Texas Department of Corrections)

ALVIN B. RUBIN, Circuit Judge:

A prisoner asserts that he was deprived of his constitutional right of access to the courts when his petition in forma pauperis was intentionally delayed by prison mail-room personnel. The delay resulted in the dismissal of his state appeal from an adverse judgment in a civil suit.
