Does the Sixth Amendment apply to a prison rules violation hearing?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Cofield v. Maydole, No. 2:13-cv-02032 DAD P (E.D. Cal. 2014):
The Sixth Amendment provides the right to a fair trial to one accused of a crime. The Sixth Amendment, however, does not apply to plaintiff's prison rules violation hearing. See Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 570 (1974). Therefore, plaintiff cannot state a cognizable Sixth Amendment claim.
