1Opinion of the Court
BOGGS, Circuit Judge.
Stanley L. Boswell, proceeding pro se, brought a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. In this lawsuit against a prison warden and a prison employee, Boswell alleged that the defendants violated his constitutional rights by opening a piece of his mail, sent from the Michigan Attorney General’s office, in Boswell’s absence. Boswell appeals from the district court’s dismissal of the case. Because the defendants violated neither Boswell’s right of access to the courts nor his right to receive mail, we affirm.
