How courts have described this case

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

  • “It is well settled that prison disciplinary proceedings do not constitute criminal prosecutions. Hence, they do not implicate the Double Jeopardy Clause, as its applicability is limited to proceedings that are essentially criminal in nature.”
  • between 1977 and 1993, Department had complete and unrestricted discretion to reinstate revoked GCT, which “dispels the notion of a liberty interest”; inmate’s interest in having revoked GCT restored was “merely speculative, as it was dependent on a number of factors”
