Filing 33 Entry Discussing Evidentiary Hearing, Denying Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, and Directing Entry of Final Judgment - The petition of Eugene Bowers for a writ of habeas corpus challenges a prison disciplinary proceeding identified as No. WVD 16-0 1-0085. For the reasons explained in this Entry, Mr. Bowers's habeas petition must be denied. "The touchstone of due process is protection of the individual against arbitrary action of the government." Wolff, 418 U.S. at 558. There wa s no arbitrary action in any aspect of the charge, disciplinary proceedings, or sanctions involved in the events identified in this action, and there was no constitutional infirmity in the proceeding which entitles Mr. Bowers to the relief he seeks. The Court concludes that Mr. Bowers received advance written notice of the charges, did not suffer a double jeopardy violation, waived his right to attend the disciplinary hearing, and any denial of evidence or witnesses did not violate his due proc ess rights as he has failed to demonstrate that this error was harmful. Accordingly, Mr. Bowers's petition for a writ of habeas corpus must be denied and the action dismissed. Judgment consistent with this Entry shall now issue. (See Entry). Signed by Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson on 1/2/2019.(JDH) |
