Does a prisoner have a constitutional right to attend an administrative appeal or grievance proceeding?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Brinson v. Marrero, CASE NO. 10-cv-1332-H-WMC (S.D. Cal. 2011):
There is no constitutional right to a specific prison administrative appeal or grievance proceeding. Ramirez v. Galaza, 334 F.3d 850, 860 (9th Cir. 2003). Additionally, prisoners do not have a liberty interest in presenting witnesses at segregation hearings because there is no constitutional foundation. See Roth, 408 U.S. at 569.
