Opinion

[DO NOT PUBLISH] IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ELEVENTH CIRCUIT ________________________ FILED U.S. COURT OF APPEALS No. 06-11150 ELEVENTH CIRCUIT JULY 7, 2006 Non-Argument Calendar THOMAS K. KAHN ________________________ CLERK D. C. Docket No. 05-00301-CV-BBM-1 MICHAEL P. MURPHY, Plaintiff-Appellant, versus MICHELLE MARTIN, et al., Defendants, OFFICER JOHNS, Defendant-Appellee.

________________________ Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia _________________________ (July 7, 2006) Before DUBINA, BLACK and HULL, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: Michael P. Murphy appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Officer Courtney Johns in Murphy’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Murphy asserts the district court erred in: (1) holding he had not exhausted his remedies under the Prison Litigation Reform Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(a); (2) concluding an action cannot be brought under § 1983 for violations of civil rights that are defined as “torture” under 18 U.S.C. § 2340A; and (3) declining to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over his remaining state law claims. After a de novo review of the parties’ arguments and the record, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s well-reasoned February 13, 2006, Order granting Johns’ motion for summary judgment.

AFFIRMED.
