Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit May 31, 1996, 19-761 (Edward Koehl v. Stephen Dalsheim, Superintendent Kenley Meritt, Corrections Officer Frank Averill, Corrections Officer)

JON O. NEWMAN, Chief Judge:

The large volume of prisoner litigation in federal courts makes it virtually inevitable that a case of arguable merit will occasionally be lumped with the many truly frivolous cases and be dismissed without adequate consideration.
