1Opinion of the Court
SABERS, Justice.
[¶ 1.] Thomas Pellegrino brought an action for a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order and damages against Doug Loen, South Dakota State Penitentiary (SDSP) Staff Attorney, and Douglas Weber, Warden. 1 He alleged Loen and Weber violated his right of access to the courts by refusing his request for over 2,000 photocopies, ostensibly needed for a petition of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court to review the denial of his state habeas corpus petition. The circuit court granted summary judgment in favor of Loen and Weber. Pellegrino appeals and we affirm.
