How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that a prisoner alleging a package rule violation did not sufficiently plead a substantive due process claim
• concluding that even if 100 inmates received mail the plaintiff was not allowed to receive, due to “a breakdown in mailroom procedures,” the reasonableness of the regulations “would be no less constitutional”
• holding regulations defining legal mail as correspondence only from an attorney, judge or elected official have been approved by the United States Supreme Court
• noting it is a violation of substantive due process to engage “in conduct that is so outrageous that it shocks the conscience or otherwise offends judicial notions of fairness, or is offensive to human dignity”
