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

  • concluding, “albeit reluctantly, that a prisoner’s interest in avoiding [Central Monitoring Case] classification does not entitle him to due process protections”
  • finding that inmates had no constitutionally protected liberty interest in avoiding an internal security classification that could affect eligibility for rehabilitative programs
  • finding the Cardaropoli, holding that classifications indirectly hindering or precluding eligibility for a temporary release program warranted due process protection, no longer good law under Greenholtz
  • overturning Cardaropoli’s recognition of liberty interest status as to a classification which could hinder or preclude eligibility for rehabilitative programs on the grounds that such programs are “mere possibilities” rather than rights
  • \Under Title 18 U.S.C. [§§] 4081 and 4082 the Attorney General has complete and absolute discretion with respect to . . . [prisoner] classification.\
  • federal prisoners have no interest in maintaining non-CMC status that merits due process protection
