The following excerpt is from Gronne v. Abrams, 793 F.2d 74 (2nd Cir. 1986):
More important, there is no general fundamental right of access to the courts; rather, the due process clause merely "assures that no person will be denied the opportunity to present to the judiciary allegations concerning violations of fundamental constitutional rights." Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 579, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 2986, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974).
