Is there any case law available at the prison law library in the context of the issue of access to the courts?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Larue v. Blodgett, 85 F.3d 636 (9th Cir. 1996):

Larue also contends that he was denied access to the courts when prison officials prohibited him from communicating with other inmates regarding his legal matters. This contention lacks merit. Since Larue does not challenge the adequacy of the prison law library or the provision of trained legal assistance, he must show "actual injury" to sustain a constitutional claim. See Sands v. Lewis, 886 F.2d 1166, 1171 (9th Cir.1989). Larue has failed to do so. Although Larue claimed that the prohibition interfered with his preparation of his pending cases, he did not point to any specific instance in which he was actually denied access to the courts. See id.
