A federal judge has dismissed an $800,000 lawsuit filed by a convicted double-murderer who said he was mistreated during his 19 months at the Lane County Jail.

The Register-Guard newspaper reports that the suit filed by 38-year-old Johan Gillette alleged that the jail denied him and other inmates certain comforts, such as decent food, soft beds and the annual swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated.

U.S. District Court Judge Ann Aiken noted in an order dismissing the suit that Gillette did not contact the court after filing the handwritten claim last November. Despite that lack of communication, Gillette's lawsuit remained active until Aiken dismissed it Wednesday.

Gillette now lives at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario.
