1Opinion of the Court

MILAN D. SMITH, JR., Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff-Appellee Dylan Dunn, a California state prisoner acting pro se, filed this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Defendants-Appellants J. Castro, T. Surges, P. Stockman, D. Ortiz, Y. Yamamoto, and A.K. Scribner (collectively, Defendants). Dunn challenges a restriction that was temporarily imposed on his right to receive visits from his three minor children while he was in prison. Defendants appeal from the district court’s order denying their motion to dismiss Dunn’s complaint. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we reverse.
