Crawford v. Littlejohn

Dist. Ct. erred in granting plaintiff-prisoner’s section 2241 petition that challenged defendant-prison official’s finding that plaintiff had violated Code B-220’s prohibition in engaging in unauthorized financial transactions, where another inmate reported to prison officials that plaintiff had directed him to send $400 to plaintiff’s mother as compensation for drugs that plaintiff had supplied to him. While inmate did not testify at hearing, his hearsay statement provided “some evidence” to support defendant’s finding against plaintiff and prison’s takeaway of 30 days of good-time credit. Moreover, instant transaction fit within prohibition contained in Code B-220, which was contrary to Dist. Ct.’s belief.
