Martinez v. Warden, State Prison, No. Cv 01-0804957 S (Jul. 9, 2001)

[EDITOR'S NOTE: This case is unpublished as indicated by the issuing court.]

MEMORANDUM OF DECISIONThe petitioner is presently incarcerated in Wallens Ridge State Prison in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, having been transferred thereto from a Connecticut prison per order of the respondent. Petitioner's claims essentially amount to a claim of wrongful classification.

This Court has previously ruled in Allen Tart v. Commissioner ofCorrections, a copy of which is attached hereto, that a prisoner does not have a liberty interest in any particular security classification, Whewayv. Warden, 215 Conn. 418, 430-31 (1990)

Accordingly this is not a matter for a habeas petition. The Court, therefore, sua sponte, hereby dismisses the petition.
