Tenny v. Blagojevich

Dist. Ct. did not err in dismissing plaintiffs-prisoners’ section 1983 actions alleging that defendants-prison officials’ policy of pricing prison commissary items more than 25% over costs of items sold violated their procedural due process rights. Plaintiffs failed to establish that they had federal constitutional right to either commissary access or to particular prices for commissary items and also failed to allege that post-deprivation remedies were inadequate to satisfy constitutional due process requirements.
