Duke Elliott appeals a Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6) and summary judgment dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. We affirm.

The district court did not err in dismissing Elliott’s retaliation and Eighth Amendment harassment claims pursuant to rule 12(b)(6). The chronology of events alleged in the complaint do not allow for the drawing of a plausible inference of retaliation. See Jones v. Greninger, 188 F.3d 322, 325 (5th Cir. 1999). Similarly, the allegations fall short of identifying behavior on the part of Warden Morgan of the type necessary to state an Eighth Amendment harassment claim. See Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 530, 104 S.Ct. 3194, 82 L.Ed.2d 393 (1984).

Further, the district court did not err in its summary judgment qualified immunity determination that Elliott had not established the violation of a clearly established constitutional right insofar as he alleged that the routine, cross-gender body cavity searches violated his Fourth Amendment right to privacy; no such right is clearly established under either controlling authority or a consensus of the persuasive authority. See McClendon v. City of Columbia, 305 F.3d 314, 323, 329 (5th Cir. 2002) (en banc). We therefore do not reach Elliott’s argument that the district court erred when it held, in the alternative, that, as a matter of law, he was not entitled to the requested relief. Given that Elliott received adequate notice of the constitutional issue dispositive of his Fourth Amendment claim and responded thereto, we find no error in the decision to award summary judgment to the unserved defendants. See NL Indus., Inc. v. GHR Energy Corp., 940 F.2d 957, 965 (5th Cir. 1991).

AFFIRMED.
