LAY, Chief Judge.
Rory Nitcher, a prisoner incarcerated in the Missouri Department of Corrections (“MDOC”), appeals the district court’s judgment on a jury verdict denying his claims filed under Title 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988). Nitcher also appeals the jury verdict on a counterclaim awarding the MDOC and eleven individual prison officials (the “prison officials”) actual and punitive damages on abuse of process arising from Nitcher’s suit. The MDOC and the State of Missouri (the “State”) joined the prison officials’ counterclaim without having been named parties to the original action.1
