FURTHER ORDERED that the district court's order of dismissal filed May 31, 1990, be affirmed with respect to appellee Federal Prison Industries, Inc. Appellant's claim for monetary relief is barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity. See United States v. Mitchell, 445 U.S. 535 (1980). Appellant's allegations that he was discharged from employment with appellee Federal Prison Industries, Inc., fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. See James v. Quinlan, 866 F.2d 627, 630 (3d Cir.1989) (inmates do not possess a liberty or property interest in Federal Prison Industries job assignments arising from either the due process clause, a federal statute or prison regulations); Garza v. Miller, 688 F.2d 480 (7th Cir.1982) (inmate has no protectible liberty or due process interest in prison employment).
