What is the state of the law on inmate grievances?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Hirano v. Nielson, 107 F.3d 16 (9th Cir. 1997):
Hirano correctly asserts that he has a right to file inmate grievances and that he may not be penalized for exercising this right. See Bradley v. Hall, 64 F.3d 1276, 1279 (9th Cir.1995). Nonetheless, Hirano has failed to prove the "absence of legitimate correctional goals for the conduct of which he complains." See Pratt, 65 F.3d at 806.
