Knox v. Godinez

Plaintiff inmate filed pro se complaint for mandamus, injunctive, and declaratory relief against DOC director, alleging his disciplinary reports were void and in violation of due process and liberty and property interests because proceedings were conducted under authority of section of Unified Code of Corrections found unconstitutional by appellate court. Plaintiff cannot state claim for relief as to disciplinary actions after 2003, when legislation became effective reenacting amendment to that section. No claim as to actions prior to 2003; amendments had been found unconstitutional as violative of single-subject rule, and not based on denial of due process. (STEIGMANN and McCULLOUGH, concurring.)
