The following excerpt is from Hill v. Swarthout, No. 2:15-cv-2012 AC P (E.D. Cal. 2020):
denied in part on grounds that he was charged with the same offense. Response to DSUF 34. This indicates that there were concerns with having an inmate who was also charged with being involved in the incident present at the hearing. Given that the charge was participating in a riot, such concerns are "logically related to preventing undue hazards to 'institutional safety or correctional goals.'" Ponte v. Real, 471 U.S. 491, 497 (1985).
