SUBMITTED NOVEMBER 4, 2010-

Before POSNER, WOOD, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

Anthony Smith, an Indiana state prisoner, filed this civil rights suit which charges that prison employees had violated the Eighth Amendment by forcing him to work at hard labor in dangerous conditions, and had violated the First Amendment by penalizing him for questioning the propriety of the work assignment and preparing to sue. He seeks damages. He also seeks injunctive relief, but that claim is moot because he’s been moved to a different prison. The dis- trict court dismissed the complaint for failure to state a claim.
