The following excerpt is from Luebbers v. Walker, 89 F.3d 845 (9th Cir. 1996):
State regulations do not afford a prisoner a protected liberty interest entitling him to procedural protections unless the action by prison officials serves to increase his sentence or results in "atypical and significant hardship on the inmate in relation to the ordinary incidents of prison life." Sandin v. O'Connor, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 2300-02 (1995).
