What is the standard of review for a motion to revoke good time credits?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Wilson, In re, 202 Cal.App.3d 661, 249 Cal.Rptr. 36 (Cal. App. 1988):

Our task in making this determination is simplified by the parties' agreement that the appropriate standard of review is that established in Superintendent v. Hill (1985) 472 U.S. 445, 105 S.Ct. 2768, 86 L.Ed.2d 356, which involved the revocation by prison officials of inmates' good time credits. Holding that the officials' action was supported by sufficient evidence, the court characterized the quantum of that evidence as "some evidence" which [202 Cal.App.3d 667] it apparently equated with "a modicum of evidence" establishing "some basis in fact." (Id. at pp. 454-456, 105 S.Ct. at pp. 2773-2775.) 5
