Huie v. Woodford

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Huie v. Woodford, 361 F. App'x 832 (9th Cir. 2010)
Goodwin, Wallace, Fisher

Huie v. Woodford

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

California state prisoner Frank Huie appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 habeas petition challenging the loss of good time credits. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2253, and we affirm.

Huie contends that the disciplinary process leading to revocation of his good time *833 credits violated his due process rights. The California court’s determination that Huie was afforded his due process rights was not an unreasonable application of federal law. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 563-69, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974) (holding that inmate is entitled to advance written notice of disciplinary charges, an opportunity to present a defense, and an explanation for the decision). Furthermore, our review of the record indicates there was “some evidence” to support the disciplinary decision. See Superintendent v. Hill, 472 U.S. 445, 455, 105 S.Ct. 2768, 86 L.Ed.2d 356 (1985).

Huie’s motion for appointment of counsel is denied.

AFFIRMED.
