Can a plaintiff make a cognizable civil claim for a violation of his due process rights based on allegations that prison officials ignored or failed to properly process his grievance?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Baker v. Beam, Case No.: 1:16-cv-01737-AWI-BAM (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2019):
Because there is no right to any particular grievance process, a plaintiff cannot state a cognizable civil rights claim for a violation of his due process rights based on allegations that prison officials ignored or failed to properly process grievances. See, e.g., Wright v. Shannon, 2010 WL 445203 at *5 (E.D. Cal. Feb. 2, 2010) (plaintiff's allegations that prison officials denied or ignored his inmate appeals failed to state a cognizable claim under the First Amendment).
