Opinion of the Court
HILL, Circuit Judge:

HILL, Circuit Judge:

Appellant is a death row inmate who has been on death watch. He asserts — and has asserted — that, as a Roman Catholic death watch inmate at Florida State Prison, he had not been allowed an adequate and equal opportunity for visiting with a representative of his religious faith. Since the issue arose, the parties have undertaken to address it constructively; changes have been made looking towards the appellant’s spiritual needs while abiding the security needs of the institution.

The district court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants, and plaintiff appeals. Oral argument was heard in Jacksonville on February 9, 1989; the record and briefs have been carefully reviewed.

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED for the reasons stated by the Honorable Susan H. Black, United States District Judge, in her opinion accompanying her order granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants. 709 F.Supp. 1098 (M.D.Fla.1988).

AFFIRMED.
