How courts have described this case

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

  • “SHU confinement in New York generally does not impose ‘atypical and significant hardship’ because it remains within the normal range of prison custody.”
  • 75 days in solitary confinement “generally does not impose an atypical and significant hardship because it remains within the normal range of prison custody”
  • “Although the temporal proximity of the filing of the grievance and the issuance of the misbehavior report is circumstantial evidence of retaliation, such evidence, without more, is insufficient to survive summary judgment.”
  • 75-day confinement was not “onerous” or an “atypical and significant” burden under Sandin
  • “In recognition of the reality that retaliation claims can be fabricated easily, plaintiffs bear a somewhat heightened burden of proof, and summary judgment can be granted if the claim appears insubstantial.”
  • 90 days in administrative segregation
