"This pro se case is before the court, without oral argument, on the defendant’s motion to dismiss. The plaintiff, a federal prisoner, alleges that he was transferred to Lewisburg Penitentiary, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, on October 16, 1976, and that personal property belonging to him was improperly withheld and intentionally destroyed by certain prison officials. He also alleges other violations of his rights under the 1st, 4th, 8th, and 14th amendments resulting from the withholding of his mail, the revelation to a fellow inmate of the contents of a letter by him to the F.B.I., the endangerment of his life resulting from that and other acts, the imposition of cruel and unusual punishment because of a lack of showers and the inability to make telephone calls, and other forms of harassment by prison officials.
"This court has no jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1491 (1970) over claims sounding in tort such as plaintiffs claims all appear to be. Vincin v. United States, 199 Ct. Cl.
"it is therefore ordered and concluded that the defendant’s motion to dismiss is granted and that the plaintiffs petition is dismissed.
It follows from our disposition of the case that plaintiffs Motion to Compel Discovery, received by the Clerk on January 11, 1978, is denied.
