On July 27, 2016, plaintiff filed a letter addressed to the clerk of court, (Doc.
5), with a copy of the first page of Judge Carlson’s report attached. It appears that
plaintiff is requesting a transfer from SCI-Huntingdon to SCI-Forest. This letter is not
construed as an objection to the report nor is it titled as such. Regardless, it is
well-settled law that prisoners have no inherent constitutional right to placement in
any particular prison, to any security classification, or to any particular housing
assignment. See Olim v. Wakinekona, 461 U.S. 238, 245 (1983); Meachum v. Fano,
427 U.S. 215, 225 (1976); Montanye v. Haymes, 427 U.S. 236, 242 (1976).
