1Opinion of the Court
HARTZ, Circuit Judge.
Appellant Todd Carlton Smith is serving a life sentence imposed by the state of Florida. While incarcerated in Florida in 1994, he carried out a contract killing on a fellow inmate. In June 2002 he was transferred for his own protection to the Kansas Department of Corrections under the Interstate Corrections Compact (ICC). Mr. Smith alleges that he received the transfer out of Florida in settlement of legal claims he had against the Florida Department of Corrections, but the record does not indicate whether he had expressed a preference that the transfer be to Kansas.
