1Opinion of the Court
HULL, Circuit Judge:
Appellant Jamil Al-Amin (“Al-Amin” or “Plaintiff’) appeals the district court’s 1 grant of Appellees Hugh Smith and Sanche Martin’s (“Defendants”) motion in limine. The district court concluded that 42 U.S.C. § 1997e(e) of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”) precluded Al-Amin from offering evidence of either compensatory or punitive damages in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging that Defendants violated his constitutional rights by allowing his legal mail to be opened outside his presence. After review and oral argument, we affirm.
