How courts have described this case

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

• holding that hearing officer violated inmate's due process rights by finding him guilty of misconduct where hearing \record failed to meet the 'some evidence' standard established by the Supreme Court in Hill\
• concluding that prison guard statements that “every inmate” participated in a riot were not plausible and thus could not constitute “some evidence” of an inmate’s participation when the inmate was one of a hundred inmates in a large mess hall
• holding qualified immunity doctrine does not protect hearing officer “where there was no reliable evidence whatsoever of the inmate’s guilt”
• finding due process requires only a “modicum of evidence to support” a disciplinary board’s decision
