1. “We agree with the District Court’s conclusion that the defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law on this claim. Although Jones’s allegations were sufficient to survive dismissal under section 1915(e)(2), Jones has come forth with no other information from which any actual injury is shown and refers only to the conclusory allegations of his complaint. For example, Jones provides no case names, case numbers, dates of the alleged dismissals at issue, or any other specific facts regarding his affected litigation. FN1 He points to nothing in the record showing that there is a genuine issue for trial. We note that the right of access to the courts does not encompass the right to litigate as effectively as he would like once in court. See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 354 , 116 S.Ct. 2174 , 135 L.Ed.2d 606 (1996).”
