             Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Southern District of Florida
                   _________________________

                           (May 28, 2009)
Before TJOFLAT, DUBINA and CARNES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      William Henry Robinson, a Florida prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the

district court’s judgment dismissing his complaint for failure to state a claim. We

affirm.

                                         I.

      Robinson has been incarcerated since 1973 and is serving a life sentence for

murder. In his first complaint, Robinson alleged that at one time he had been

approved for work release, possessed gain-time credits, and expected to be paroled

in 1998. However, after the state attorney informed the Parole Commission that

the woman Robinson killed had also been raped, Robinson’s parole was denied and

his work release privileges were suspended. Robinson argued that because he was

never convicted of rape, the Parole Commission relied on false information to deny

him parole and his privileges. He also asserted that he was erroneously listed on

Florida’s sex offender website, which stigmatized him.

      Robinson brought all of these claims in 2005. The district court dismissed

his lawsuit sua sponte for failure to state a claim. Robinson appealed. See

Robinson v. Satz, 260 Fed. Appx. 209 (11th Cir. 2007). We affirmed the dismissal

of Robinson’s claim that he was improperly denied parole and that his work release



                                          2
and gain-time privileges were wrongfully taken away. Robinson, 260 Fed. Appx.

at 211–13 (holding that the loss of work-release and gain-time was not actionable

under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and that Robinson could “not state a due process claim

simply by making a ‘conclusory allegation’ regarding the use of false information

by a parole board.”). We also held that Robinson had stated a claim by alleging

that he had been publicly listed on the Florida sex offender website without

receiving procedural due process. 

(“An inmate who has never been

convicted of a sex crime is entitled to due process before the state declares him to

be a sex offender,” quoting Kirby v. Siegelman, 

, 1292 (11th Cir.

1999)).1 Accordingly, after affirming the dismissal of Robinson’s parole, work

release, and gain-time claims, we vacated the dismissal of his sex-offender

designation claim and remanded that claim alone to the district court. Robinson,

260 Fed. Appx. at 213.

       On remand, Robinson filed an amended complaint asserting that we had

misunderstood his original claim about being listed as a sex offender. Robinson

denied and disavowed any claim that he had ever been listed on Florida’s sex

offender website. Instead, he claimed that he had been stigmatized by having

“false sex offense information” aired about him in the private documents and


       1
       We also noted that if Robinson was not actually listed on the public website, summary
judgment in favor of the state would be appropriate. Robinson, 260 Fed. Appx. at 213 n.2.

                                              3
internal websites of the Florida Department of Corrections and the Florida Parole

Commission.

      In light of Robinson’s amended complaint, a magistrate judge issued a report

and recommendation finding that Robinson had admitted that he was not listed on

any public website as a sex offender. Therefore, Robinson disavowed his only

claim that had survived dismissal— the claim that he had been publicly stigmatized

for being a sex offender without due process. See 

.

Further, the magistrate judge found that Robinson’s real reason for bringing the

amended complaint was that he wanted his parole and work release privileges,

which he believed had been improperly taken away because of the rape allegations.

In sum, by dropping his claim for stigmatization and reiterating his claims for

parole and work release privileges, Robinson simply restated claims that had

already been dismissed. See Robinson, 260 Fed. Appx. at 213. The district court

adopted the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation and dismissed

Robinson’s amended complaint for failure to state a claim. This is Robinson’s

appeal.

                                         II.

      We “review de novo a district court’s sua sponte dismissal for failure to state

a claim, pursuant to § 1915(e)(2), using the same standards that govern Federal



                                          4
Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) dismissals.” Farese v. Scherer, 

,

1230 (11th Cir. 2003). We accept all facts alleged in the complaint as true and

construe the allegations in the light most favorable to the plaintiff. 

.

      Robinson’s most recent complaint and brief simply restate claims that we

already rejected in Robinson, 260 Fed. Appx. at 213. “Under the law of the case

doctrine, both district courts and appellate courts are generally bound by a prior

appellate decision in the same case.” Alphamed, Inc. v. B. Braun Med., Inc., 

, 1285–86 (11th Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we will not address

Robinson’s assertion that allegations of rape improperly cost him a chance at

parole, work release, and gain-time.

      The only ground on which this case was remanded was Robinson’s claim

that he had been stigmatized by being listed on Florida’s sex offender website. But

now Robinson admits that he is not listed on that or any other public website as a

sex offender. Therefore, the district court properly dismissed his amended

complaint under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).

      AFFIRMED.
