Abstract:
An inmate believes he was placed in the SMU without due process; without any sort of ceremonial event where he could present facts and arguments against the transfers within the unit and to the unit itself. The Court finds, in brief, there is no combination of factors demonstrating that Plaintiff’s incarceration in the SMU imposed an atypical and significant hardship compared to ordinary prison.Keywords: Turner v.
