OPINION & ORDER Darrell Gunn (“Plaintiff”), proceeding pro se, brings this Complaint, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §1983, against Correction Officer (“C.O.”) T. Malani (“Defendant”), alleging that Defendant violated Plaintiff’s rights and caused him injury when Defendant lost Plaintiff’s property and caused him to miss a law library callout and court deadline. (See Compl. (Dkt. No. 2).) Before the Court is Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss the Complaint (the “Motion”), filed pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6) and 42 U.S.C. §1997e(e). (See Not. of Mot. (Dkt. No. 20).) For the following reasons, the Motion is granted. I. Background A. Factual Allegations The following facts are drawn from Plaintiff’s Complaint and are assumed true for the purpose of resolving the instant Motion. The events giving rise to this Action took place while Plaintiff was incarcerated at Green Haven Correctional Facility (“Green Haven”). (Compl. 4.)1 On June 17, 2017, Plaintiff was transferring his property from one cell to another during a cell move. (Id. 10.) An unnamed prison guard said to Plaintiff, “[P]lace [all your] property in your cell after the count. I understand you’re cleaning and sanitizing your cell.” (Id. 11.) Plaintiff placed five bags of property in front of his cell “[a]t [the] prison guard’s direction.” (Id.) According to the Complaint, Defendant then said to Plaintiff, “[Y]ou write grievances! I’m going to take your property! Unless you can give me a good reason why I should give it back by the time I’m done taking it. It’s a fire hazard! You were told to put it in your cell.” (Id. 13.) Plaintiff alleges that Defendant “negligently and carelessly lo[st] [P]laintiff['s] property and damag[ed] the property.” (Id. 12.) Shortly thereafter, Defendant allegedly placed Plaintiff on keep lock, stating, “[Y]ou write grievances. You are keep locked!” (Id. 14-15.) Further, Plaintiff was allegedly “denied his scheduled law library [callout]…caus[ing] [him] to miss [a] court deadline.” (Id. 16-17.) As a result, Plaintiff suffered “undue incredible hardships,” including “worrying, [a] high level of stress, agony, anxiety, anger, degradation, dehumanization, depression, paranoia, injustice, [hopelessness and] despair.” (Id. 19.) A short time later, Plaintiff “used the prisoner grievance procedure at Green Haven…to try to solve the problem.” (Id. 21.) “On June 29, 2017[,] [P]laintiff…presented the facts relating to his complaint.” (Id.)2 On August 11, 2017, Plaintiff learned that the grievance had been denied. (Id.) On August 18, 2017, Plaintiff “appealed the denial of the grievance #GH-86981-17 consolidated.”3 (Id.) The Complaint does not contain any allegations relating to the resolution of this appeal. B. Plaintiff’s Causes of Action Plaintiff lists several causes of action in his Complaint, which alleges violations of the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment, and Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. (See id. 24.) The Court construes them as follows. First, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant lost and damaged his property, which he was unable to resolve through the grievance process. (Id.
10-13, 21.) Second, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant violated Plaintiff’s right of access to the courts by denying his scheduled law library callout, causing him to miss a court deadline. (Id.
